AGES Learning Solutions

I currently work in the East Bay Region. AGES is great. The support they give all the employees so they can grow with the company is unlike any other.  Not only do the BCBAs consistently check in with BTs to see if they are reaching their career goals but they also promote from with in and offer a very competitive salary.  During the height of the pandemic AGES did everything they could to support their staff financially. Even giving $200 gift cards for groceries routinely.   Every agency has its pros and cons.  While AGES is still a growing company learning how to navigate during such challenging times, AGES does 100% allow feedback and communication from the top to the bottom and the bottom to the top.  Never have I worked for a company that put so much effort in to supporting their staff and including them in their success.  I never had a problem getting my PTO approved. And honestly I was surprised how some people would take so many vacation days.  They do as that you at least attempt to find coverage for missed sessions but this is a reasonable expectation for any job that requires you to be an ABA therapist.  
The pandemic hit all agencies hard but AGES quickly found new ways to improve and make the services still accessible.  The hours have its seasons of ups and downs due to changes in client's availability and school breaks but overall that is standard across all ABA agencies.

This is a smaller run company with the pursuit of growth. The executive team expects to push a certain number of billable hours each month. They incentivize this by adding a monthly bonus to your paycheck if you reach those hours. It was difficult to get hours in certain regions, so you sometimes may need to commute out of your direct area. I wish there was more of a work place culture in place, being that this job is very isolating for the Behavior Technicians in the field. Results always needing pushed with a lack of support from the high level management. This creates a high pressure environment. There is also the feeling of being detached from everything as you begin to feel stuck with a lack of upward mobility for a respectful career growth opportunity. Cannot take a true vacation and cannot truly use your accrued vacation hours. Can be unfair when it comes to a time off request (TOR) because you are demanded to find sub hours or make up those missed hours. Unfortunately, when clients cancel - you just lose those hours. 

This was a pretty typical in-home ABA job compared to other very small companies. Not many perks for staff and no opportunities for advancement. Stagnation at it's finest. 

Staffing issues are worse than average. Less than 1/3 of my caseload had any BTs at all. None of my cases even met 50% of the 1:1 hours that I recommended (my highest recommendation was only for 20 hours per week). In order to meet the expected billable, supervisors have to do 1:1 sessions. 

Working with AGES learning solutions, I have had an opportunity to help children develop and obtain new skills including: communicative skills, language skills, and coping mechanisms. Through Applied behavior analysis, clients have shown an increase in focus and memory. By utilizing coping techniques refined through ABA, problem behaviors such as: biting, pinching, and hitting can be greatly reduced. ABA targets improving behaviors and replacing challenging behaviors with socially appropriate/important behaviors. With reinforcement strategies and consistent learning, results truly begin to show.
Through my work with AGES learning solutions, I have had the opportunity to work with children with ASD of all ages. I have seen that teaching in the homeplace setting provides comfort and enables family to support children in their learning. This also allows for opportunities to refine adaptive learning skills like hygiene, grooming, and household chores. 
The management is great, cares about their employees, and very supportive! They are very flexible and are there to help whenever you need it! 

I was hired as a Program Supervisor but was essentially given the workload and pay of a Behavior Technician, which felt misleading. I reached out to management multiple times, but nothing changed. I stayed for my clients’ sake, but it became clear there was no real path for growth or support toward becoming a BCBA, despite my efforts to advocate for it. Some BCBAs were supportive, but others were unreliable or absent when needed. On my first day, I was assigned a tough case and left to manage the client alone with little support for weeks. Management is inconsistent, and getting a response often takes far too long. Overall, this company wasn’t the right fit if you’re looking for honesty, growth, and reliable leadership.

As a BCBA with previous experience at different ABA companies, AGES truly values and supports not only their BCBAs, but prioritizes the needs of families and technicians. The high level of care and compassion from management all the way to technicians is so rare at any ABA company, but AGES truly cares and shows compassion in all their practices and policies. Each AGES staff member truly want the best for families, and working with like minded colleagues makes working fun and effortless. The hardest part of the job is having long periods of gaps in the day (common to all ABA companies); however, depending on your caseload - this may not be a problem for you. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with like minded people committed to helping individuals with autism.

A typical day at A.G.E.S involves collaborative teamwork and meaningful work with children. I’ve learned the importance of individualized care and the value of continuous professional development. Management is supportive, fostering a positive workplace culture focused on growth. The hardest part is managing the intense workload, but the most enjoyable part is making a real difference in the lives of children with autism.

The average work day I will see anywhere from 5-7 clients a day with prep time and an hour lunch break built into my day. I enjoy that I can work with clients on a 1:1 ratio as it allows me to really spend time with each kid and learn from them. I feel like I have learned how to effectively give therapy sessions and tailor them to the needs of the client through hands on learning experience. The management team is communicative and I always feel heard if I have a concern to express. The team in the Sacramento office is great and I greatly enjoy working with everyone on staff. The hardest part can sometimes be time management as the days are often very busy but the challenge is enjoyable for me. I love seeing my clients grow and progress, and it is a very rewarding experience to see how they develop in their speech and language skills.

At AGES you have the opportunity to work with amazing individuals with autism and provide intervention that can change their life. AGES provide competitive wages, free training, and a chance to attain your Registered Behavior Technician Certification. If I have question or concerns I have the support of the staff, gain knowledge about the world of ABA from knowledgeable and experienced BCBA's, and I can use PTO if I need a day off for any reason. Also, AGES provide a opportunity for career growth, knowledge by providing tuition reimbursement. In conclusion, AGES is a small company, but the people here care about the job, and the clients that they provide services to,

This is my first position working directly in ABA and I don't think I could've picked a better company than AGES Learning Solutions. Since joining the team earlier this year I have felt nothing but support from my BCBA, Program Supervisor and Regional Manager. The company culture here is inclusive, uplifting and rewarding.
Not only am I grateful for the team at AGES but also for the families I have worked with. We have such amazing clients and getting to watch them develop a new skill, reach a goal or overcome an obstacle has been my favorite part of the job. We work alongside parents and staff to ensure our clients are supported and have the necessary tools to help them succeed.
My time with AGES has just begun and I look forward to growing with the company.
