      Abusive Treatments - Autism Behavior Therapist Beacon ABA Services Employee Review

      1.0

      Autism behavior therapist

      CEO approval

      Pros

      They have paid training for your certifications

      Cons

      Long hours with poor pay, no breaks including no lunch break (they expect you to take lunch when you’re driving between your clients houses), abhorrent “therapy” methods that are abusive and traumatizing for children, and not accommodating to people with disabilities or health problems. Definitely do not recommend.

      Pros

      Beacon took me in with no experience and taught me everything I know. I went through training from ABT to BT, CPR training through the company and even began the masters program to become a behavior analyst.

      Cons

      Employees don’t seem to last very long long

      Pros

      Age range is great. Little kiddos .

      Cons

      Cancelations: lets say you drove 30 minutes ,then a text appears seeing, canceled. The company wont pay you for the drive or lost session AND your responsible to set uo a makeup session. During holiday season, alot of cancelations happen, Therfore lost hours and pay. Dont believe it when they aay" we'll put you in other cases" . They'll try but it most likely wont be available. TRAINING: If your experienced, trust me your better off in another place. The training they advertised is 2 weeks of seeding/shadowing . But nope ,thats an estimate. Some people have shadowing times for months. At a training rate. Meaning you have to stay like a shadow at a session, go to random houses and sit there watching and occasionally practice for 2 hours. This can be exciting at first, but when it goes on for weeks and weeks , your pay will be low and your previous skills are very undervalued. Dont get excited about the pay : The pay rate lured me in, but considering the amount of time they needed to "find clients" for me , and teh amount of cancelations or no place for you to go, the rate is nothing .
