Pros

Kids are great and once you bond with them they will love you forever.

Cons

Literally everything. You are expected to do far more than your job description and work far harder than your own personal health allows and are forced out when you don’t comply.

Pros

BCBAs have a very flexible schedule. Judson Center accepts a wide variety of clients (severe behaviors, older ages) from both private insurance and medicaid populations. They provide a variety of services for children with ASD, such as social skills groups, parent support groups, ABA, kids night in, and summer programming. BCBAs are well trained in behavior management and behavior intervention. There is a select few quality BCBAs who complete an appropriate amount of direct supervision with clients and support their BTs and RBTs. BTs and RBTs are provided with good training prior to working with clients.

Cons

Judson Center Autism Connections has a very poor workplace culture. Management is lazy and will work the least amount of hours required. BCBAs that are trained by Judson Center and continue to work at Judson Center are typically poorly trained in program selection, early intervention, current literature for behavior interventions and skill acquisition techniques, and staff management. BCBAs are mostly in their offices ineffectively completing indirect supervision rather than on the floor face to face with clients and staff. BCBAs have been observed to engage in fraudulent billing (e.g., observing two clients during one time period, but billing supervision for both clients). BCBAs and management commonly do not work a full 40 hours or get as much direct supervision with clients as necessary. Most BTs and RBTs feel unsupported and are poorly trained due to little direct supervision and ongoing training from BCBAs. Graduate/practicum students are expected to complete most of the work for BCBAs (e.g., parent trainings, supervision, fidelity checks, staff training), even when not properly trained or supervised in how to complete tasks.
