Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy to hear that our Onboarding and Training program helped prepare you to deliver ABA therapies to children and families. We recognize the challenges associated with entering a new field, and we’re proud to offer an extensive training program when the need for ABA services has never been higher. Every child that we work with is unique, and it is our mission to deliver quality behavioral healthcare that is responsive to the individual needs of families of children with autism. The treatment programs that Beacon provides to children and families are developmentally appropriate and supported by empirically validated peer-review research. While we work hard to ensure that every staff member feels like they have sufficient support and guidance, we understand that not everyone’s experience is the same. We would like the opportunity to speak with you directly to learn more about your experience and how we can be better. We invite you to contact us at support@beaconservices.org.

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 .
