Mountainside ABA Reviews

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

Communication was poor and severely lacking. I was never informed of changes until the absolute last second. There was also little support offered when there were difficult times. I was told to smile through it and not take it personal, especially when being screamed and yelled at by parents. I was also terminated without any warning for an issue I was told was greatly improved just prior. Lastly, I was never given the hours I was promised when I was hired despite my asking repeatedly.
