Pros
Flexible schedule, advancement opportunities, working with children, tuition reimbursement to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, mileage reimbursement
Cons
This is not a consistent job. Clients are constantly cancelling sessions. Because the position is "fee for service", this means that you were not paid for cancelled sessions.There is poor communication among supervisors and other Early Intervention Speciualists. There was a number of times when a parent would cancel and notify a supervisor but the parent and supervisor would fail to notify me as well. This resulted in me travling miles to clients home only to find out they cancelled/were not home. Total waste of time. Some supervisors want you to do EVERYTHING their way. Leaves no room to develop repor with children or develop your own teaching skills. Alot of take home work that you were not paid for. You have to do and submit your own timesheets. If you made even the slightest error, your pay will be witheld until the following pay period Some clients homes are filthy and smell bad If you dont have access to a computer, this position is not for you.
