Pros
The clients were amazing, and the hours were nice.
Cons
There is a lack of overall understanding of ABA program development and application. There was a gross lack of direct support and ethically guided supervision, resulting in mediocre therapy implementation. The lack of actual structure stems from the owner, and spreads everyone underneath too thin. Rather than producing quality services, BCBAs are constantly told to find more clients without actually providing proper intake processes and training once onboarded. Multiple times clinicians were left to deal with high-intensity behaviors with nearly no direct support from the BCBA. It would take a few months for new behavior techs to receive Safety Care training, despite the level of intensity the clients exhibited. BACB code was loosely followed. The clinic operated out of its scope and took advantage of its employees, offering inadequate pay for the level of responsibility. If clinicians spoke up about concerns or provided feedback, HR was quick to remind them that WV is an at-will state, and your position can be terminated at any time
