Abacus Therapies

I started with abacus when they first opened in 2017 and worked as a dedicated employee until 2021. It was an exciting time to join a team that I felt really wanted to provide quality therapy to families. It was beyond disappointing when their actions no longer aligned with their vision, mission or purpose. Their goals to expand so quickly without building a solid foundation and understanding of what it takes to provide quality therapy is where I think things went wrong. Once things shifted, I was being asked to complete tasks that did not align with my personal values or my mission/purpose as a therapist. As you can imagine that creates a lot of tension and ultimately lead to one of the partners screaming and cursing at me during a team meeting. To my surprise I was then approached by another partner who called me “aggressive.” He proceeded to tell me that “sometimes you just need to do what your supervisor tells you to do” It was extremely hurtful and disappointing to hear that.  Overall the first few years were great and I’m proud of the work I did at Abacus. Towards the end it became very toxic, less collaborative and more about monetary gains/expansion rather than providing quality therapy. Never would’ve expected it and to this day I’m still very disappointed in their actions.

I’ve been working for Abacus Therapies for almost two years now and since I’ve joined the company I was impressed by how much they care about their clients and employees. Due to my position here I’m able to see the clinical side and also the whole work and discussions that are going on behind the curtains and when I see how much everyone here is trying to make the life for our clients at least a bit easier it gives me so much motivation.  Partners really know how to choose the right people for the team, everyone here is sharing their values and vision. Moreover, they were able to build a safe and friendly environment at work where everyone is ready to help and open to new ideas. I’ve never expected to find friends at work but ended up staying in touch even with those who have already left the company. 

I always feel supported and valued, whenever I reach out to partners I know for sure that I won’t face judgment. It’s easy to work with smart and open-minded people. 
Another thing is their flexibility, they are always trying to reach clients' and employees' needs even if sometimes it’s not the best solution for business.

I’m looking forward to keep working with them.  I think it’s the best company if you want to help kids and grow professionally.


Abacus is a wonderful company to work for! My supervisors, my peers, and the rest of the staff are ALWAYS extremely encouraging and supportive. They do a great job of being flexible with your individual schedule and never throw something unexpected on your plate.
Whenever you have a question, problem, etc., not only are they are quick to respond and work with you in whatever way they can, but they encourage reaching out and love to help out in whatever way they can. I've had many work experiences when I felt like I was never truly listened to, but at Abacus this is NEVER the case. You definitely feel like a valued member of a team. 

The founders of the company have a son with ASD and started Abacus because they felt he wasn't getting the quality therapy he needed anywhere else. I feel like this is a huge reason why everyone they personally interview and hire end up joining and loving the Abacus "family" right away! 
Even though most of the time you are at different locations for each child, the company makes sure to bring everyone together somehow and foster a very collaborative and healthy work environment. The top priority is quality care for each and every child and it's very obvious whenever you meet a member of the team!

As a BCBA and former RBT, I have worked for numerous companies and I have never felt as supported and valued than I have since working at Abacus. Incredible team who checks in very often to make sure you’re doing ok and most importantly, taking care of yourself. That is something I have never gotten at other companies. Incredible team of BCBAs and RBTs and TONS of collaboration. I am constantly learning from others within the company and my scope of practice and overall competency has improved insanely since starting. I am valued, supported and paid more than fairly for all the work that goes into being in this field. I also love how involved and accessible the CEOs are, even though they are more behind the scenes they still make it a point to check in often and are always available to chat about new ideas and how we can continue to improve. I also love the progressive and naturalistic approach they believe in and implement for all kiddos and families. 

Abacus therapies is one of the few extraordinary companies you will find in the Miami / Palm Beach area. At Abacus, I feel so at home and I know that every need I have will be heard and listened to. Every single person I have worked with, including the admin team, has a passion for this field of work and will make sure every child, family and staff member is cared for. The team really listens and cares for their employees, the culture is above standards and I truly feel valued amongst my colleagues. I am grateful for the autonomy that I am given with my clients and strive to motivate therapists and give them opportunities to grow and reach their fullest potential. The collaborative environment amongst the entire Abacus team makes every day enjoyable, and I look forward to each coming day. Abacus Therapies is not only my place of employment but also my second family. If you are seeking a job where you will be truly listened to, cherished and valued,  I highly recommend Abacus Therapies :)

As a fairly new RBT, I was appreciative of the opportunity offered.  Not many companies hire those without an RBT credential.  They are a relatively small company that recently expanded to Palm Beach County.  If you are a good fit for their son, you are a good fit for Abacus Therapies.  The owners have a child on the spectrum and strive to hire the best individuals to take on the RBT or analyst role.  Employee feedback is encouraged and taken into consideration.  The only complaint is the time it took to actually start accruing direct/indirect hours in order to sit for the BCBA exam.  A contract had to be created, etc.  As a new BCBA candidate, I was misinformed and as a result, will not meet the requirements to test this year.  This is the one and only reason I decided to part ways.

Abacus Therapies is one of the most inclusive and supportive workplaces I've ever experienced. Working here feels like being part of a family. I continuously learn from my superiors, and supervision during client sessions is frequent, ensuring that I'm always growing professionally. The feedback I receive on my data collection is invaluable, helping me to refine my skills.

The corporate staff go above and beyond to foster a sense of community, organizing social events, parties, and holiday gatherings that bring everyone together. The work environment is both professional and warm, making collaboration with colleagues a pleasure.

It might sound cliché, but Abacus Therapies truly feels like a home away from home. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of such a wonderful company.

I've had a really positive experience working with Abacus Therapies. What stands out the most is how supportive everyone is. Whether it's a quick question or a bigger challenge, people are always willing to help and point you in the right direction. The communication is also great. It's easy to reach out to team members, and I've always felt comfortable asking for help or clarification when needed. There's a genuine sense that everyone wants each other to succeed.
The benefits and growth opportunities are also incredible. I always felt valued as an employee, and it was clear that the company genuinely invests in its team members' development and success. It's a company that values teamwork and creates a welcoming environment, which makes a big difference in day-to-day work. I'm grateful to be part of such a collaborative and supportive team.

I started with Abacus 5 years ago and never left. This has been one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had and truly feel valued and appreciated here. I have been able to grow within the company due to the vast opportunities they offer. In additional I have grown professionally and also as a clinician, thanks to the management team as well as my colleagues. I love the collaborative atmosphere that Abacus offers and the fact that anyone is always willing to lend a hand when needed. I also personally stand by the mission and the company's values align highly with mine. I love the compassionate and caring work we are doing with the kids, empowering RBTs and watching them grow within the company and most importantly, I love waking up every day to go to work :) 

The Abacus RBT training requires the candidate to purchase the online training for $99 which they say is refundable after working for the company for 90 days. This online training is actually longer than 40 hours, more like 80 hours so it could take a couple of months to complete if you are working another job. You don't get a job offer until you complete this training. They don't offer tuition assistance if you plan to attend college to become a behavioral  analyst (BCBA). This is a big issue for me because most RBT companies offer some type of tuition assistance.  Everything is remote and you are constantly on the road with this job. The pay is about the same as most other ABA companies in this market
