Pros
$24 an hour. not sure what else to put as a pro
Cons
- 3 day training, the majority of which was spent talking about administrative information such as how to ask for time off.. leading me to feel unqualified for the job due to not really understanding autism, my clients and their behaviors, how to respond to them, how to motivate them to learn, and how to even teach them new skills. i would prefer a place that requires the 40 hour training and ensures that you become RBT licensed. - not sure how often behavioral assessments are conducted for my clients, but intervention plans appeared to be lacking or just semi- inaccurate for client - working in this field makes me question the ethical validity of it . i do think ABA can be ethically practiced to an extent, but after a certain point it just feels like we're trying to make them "normal"
