Pros

-Great initial training on the basic principles of A.B.A. -Supportive P.D.'s always available to answer questions, open to comments and observations -Opportunities for growth within the company

Cons

-Low pay rate for amount of work and responsibility. Often times responsibilities given were out of job title. -Need thorough training on state laws, regulations, L.A.U.S.D policies etc. -More specific safety plans in place (especially for high risk children) in the school setting -Should establish a clearer hierarchy of parent and teacher communication, concerns relayed to instructors (re-directing questions/concerns to the P.D.'s, P.M.'s)
