First, I want to thank you for your 5 years of service to AST’s families. Regarding responses to Glassdoor reviews, this is a fairly new practice, but something I am committing to do for every review (not just the ones that are flattering).
I am very sorry to hear that you did not feel supported in your process of taking your BCBA exam. Professional development is not just a talking point for us, we truly want all our staff to have a valuable experience during their time here - however long that may be - so that it helps them pursue the career path they want. Let me say, congratulations on taking your exam! That is no small accomplishment, and I’m sorry you did not feel celebrated during that process.
As far as AST’s priorities, I have to disagree. While we are certainly committed to being a successful organization, that can never come at the expense of excellent clinical practices or happy, successful staff. We have worked hard to be transparent in our town hall meetings and to solicit feedback from staff and implement changes to improve our organization for employees. Things like the LI and SI roles, free PassTheBigExam course, and technology investments are all a result of listening to employees. I am sorry that this was not seen or felt by you. I appreciate your feedback and with you well in your future work as a BCBA.
