Apex Pediatric Therapy Services

I’ve been working here for about three years now, and in that time I’ve only seen this place grow. I’m proud to be part of such a supportive team that really puts in the effort. When I first started, there were times I didn’t feel as supported as I do now, but over time management has worked to improve communication and support for staff. Our clinical director and management focus on building a place where staff feel safe, respected, and heard. They actively work to keep the center a positive place for both employees and clients. Being in this environment has inspired me to further my education and work toward becoming a BCBA, because I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful this work can be.

A typical day as an RBT can look a little different depending on the kids you’re working with, since every child has their own goals and programs. Most kids start their day in the big play “gym” area, and we also spend time in the safari animal-themed one-on-one rooms, the eating area, or in spaces for daily living skills, sensory play, or group learning. Along with center-based sessions, there are also opportunities to work in-home with families. My day usually involves a mix of play, teaching skills, and helping kids move from one room or activity to another.

The culture here is honestly one of my favorite parts. Everyone is warm, willing to help, and it really feels like a team. The hardest part of the job is handling maladaptive behaviors, which can sometimes mean being hit, kicked, or pushed. It’s part of the work we do to help kids meet their goals, and there is always support from the team if things get tough. Those moments are not always easy, but they make it that much more meaningful when you see a child make progress.

For me, the best part of the job is seeing the growth of the kids I work with and hearing families share how that progress is helping them at home. Even the smallest steps forward can be a huge deal and it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of that journey. Over the past few years, I’ve learned so much about behavior analysis, communication, and problem solving, and those experiences have motivated me to keep advancing my skills as I work toward becoming a BCBA. This job has challenged me and helped me grow, both personally and professionally. I’m grateful to be part of a team that truly cares about the kids and the staff!

One thing that you should consider is that clients have their own personal and cultural beliefs which may affect how you are able to provide therapy. They may have limits. Some families may not be open to feedback that may reflect “negatively” on their child. Ex) reports of specific behaviors that are displayed, while in a normative setting these behaviors may label someone as weird or other colorful words, it’s important to be able to navigate those conversations with the families so they understand why early intervention is beneficial and why pointing it out is important (it addresses the maladaptive behaviors). 
What I liked is that compared to a previous agency I worked for, APEX had a great way of managing schedules that didn’t intervene with your preferred schedule and for the most part the BCBAs seemed to genuinely care for the their clients and update programs, co-RBTs were great and helped a lot (ready to step in for assistance). 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Its a fun place to work. The staff was really good and helpful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When call-offs happen, you get no compensation pay. Sometimes the parents would call off after you get there and there was no compensation pay or nothing done when parents would repeatedly call off with no prior notice. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is nice. The new office manager was kind of a rude and mean to other staff members. The boss is willing to work with you whenever you need anything in regards to hours or pay.

very fun and flexible workplace with a rewarding role overall. i really enjoyed working with clients and found the experience meaningful.

unfortunately, my experience was impacted by a bcba who demonstrated unprofessional behavior, including discussing staff performance in front of clients and speaking negatively about other therapists. this created an uncomfortable environment and affected the quality of supervision. the client also expressed dissatisfaction with the bcba, which made sessions more challenging.

I work directly with clients as a RBT.  Working here has helped me grow so much. Management is supportive and approachable. I feel comfortable asking questions or reaching out for guidance when needed. It is welcoming and very collaborative. I know there is always someone willing to help. The pay is good and the longer you work there, the pay increases based on performance.

Apex Pediatric is a great place to work  as an RBT or BCBA.  Apex offers training immediately upon hire  to all new technicians so that they can become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT).  BCBA's provide a lot of support to RBT's during their sessions as well. Employees  are all very supportive and helpful to one another.  The clinics have also received a recent facelift with new flooring and paint to look fresh and more appealing. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The families I serve and the therapists I work with. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No steady pay, owner does not know ABA and undermines ethical clinical decisions 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good - great culture of professionalism 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Home ABA therapy 2-3 sessions per day.

Working with kids is always rewarding. Working for people who only care about money is not rewarding at all. Management needs better training in how to talk and treat their employees. Turnover rate is very high for both front desk and RBT. 

No structure. Breaking HIPPA rules. Terrible and extremely overbearing management. Find a better ABA company that includes the CEO not to pawn responsibilities on staff who are not qualified for said responsibilities.
