Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed the flexibility of the BHT position. Communication with families and educators is vital to the success of treatment for consumers but can be a challenge for different reasons beyond our control. We encourage you to work with your treatment team members and IBHS admin to resolve any communication issues you may encounter. Thanks again

Pros

flexiable schedules (if part time)

Cons

Company is more interested in keeping parents happy versus following treatment plans. Will make you drive all over PA Company is more interested in reprimanding BHT's instead of helping them.

We are disappointed to hear about your experience as a BHT. We want all of our employees to feel supported and appreciated. Although we have six locations throughout South Central PA, BHT's only work within one county. Thank you for the review.
