Pros

Rewarding and fun experiences with children, allowed for a primary experience in the field of psychology, learned about behaviorism in real time. Decent pay, and increased pay after 6 PM Weekends off

Cons

Main downside: clients get sick and you don't get paid. Since beginning a month ago I have had two clients miss an entire week, and as of today another client has gotten sick and will most likely be out for the rest of the week. There is no way to be compensated for this My availability had to be changed to accommodate for available clients, and my schedule is now from 10:30-8:30 After initial first session, there is not much guidance or feedback, so sessions can feel very unstructured and aimless. The efficacy of ABA can be debated. The history of ABA is concerning and some of the "compliance" goals seem unnecessary and can feel wrong to implement (withholding preferred item until desired phrase is said, which is incomprehensible to client. Teaches rote memorization for no purpose other than compliance?) Spending a lot of time driving to and from with not great compensation. Sometimes can feel more like a babysitter than a behaviorist.

Thank you for your support of our San Jose families! We truly appreciate the important role you play and your dedication to our mission. And we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your interactions with the children, as that is our favorite part, too. At ALP, we understand the impact cancellations can have on our families, and we’re actively working on piloting new programs to find a solution to this challenge. In the meantime, we encourage all our employees, including you to communicate proactively with their direct supervisor and client services to schedule makeup sessions if needed. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t feel supported after your initial session. We work hard to develop our staff so they feel fully prepared before going into client homes. If you ever find yourself in a unique situation, we encourage you to reach out to your Regional Trainer and/or Field Trainer for additional guidance. As for gas mileage, we do our best to monitor and adjust our reimbursement rate as gas prices fluctuate. In fact, we increased our mileage reimbursement several months ago to reflect sudden spikes in gas prices at that time. Thank you again for all the support you provide to our San Jose families.

Thank you for this - and for the genuine advice you left for management. Hearing directly from RBTs is something we deeply value, and the fact that you felt those voices weren't reaching the right people is feedback we take to heart. Amazing clients and growth opportunities are things we work hard to protect, and we know that means getting the environment and leadership around them right too. Communication and stability are areas we're actively investing in, and your perspective helps shape that work. Thank you for everything you gave to your clients.
