Autism Care Partners

Working at Autism Care Partners Taunton the past 4 years for me has been a rewarding experience that has included professional growth, meaningful client impact, and a supportive team environment. One of the most fulfilling aspects of the job is the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children and their families. Watching clients make progress, no matter how small, makes even the more challenging days worthwhile. The company values hard work and dedication, and while promotions depend on position availability, employees who consistently demonstrate strong performance are recognized and considered for opportunities to grow within the company 

The Taunton center environment is highly team-oriented and supportive. Staff are always willing to step in to help one another, whether it is providing behavioral support, covering for a quick break, or assisting during more challenging moments. Communication between BTs/RBTs and in house management is clear and consistent, especially regarding client goals, expectations, and treatment procedures. Management is approachable and makes an effort to check in with staff, recognizing the mental and emotional demands of the role. There is also a strong emphasis on staff well-being, with encouragement to communicate needs and take breaks when necessary.

A typical day is fast-paced and varies depending on client and staff needs. Responsibilities include assisting with client arrivals and transitions, facilitating group activities like morning meetings and arts and crafts, and providing direct support on the floor when needed. The role also involves administrative tasks such as scheduling clients and staff, answering calls and emails, updating data, coordinating diagnostic appointments, and giving tours to prospective staff and families.

While scheduling can be one of the more stressful aspects, especially with last-minute staff call-outs or client cancellations, we do our best to ensure continued support for clients. Overall, the role requires patience, adaptability, and strong problem-solving skills, but with the training and support provided, it is both manageable and incredibly fulfilling.


Having spent several years here, I can say that the most fulfilling parts of the job were watching the kids progress and collaborating with dedicated staff who are TRULY there for the right reasons.
With that being said, there are definitely some challenges this company faces. It often feels like upper management’s primary focus is on billing, which is certainly important for sustaining our services. However, when billing becomes the primary topic of discussion—oftentimes at the expense of addressing actual client needs—it can overshadow our core mission of supporting those we serve.
This focus can lead to questions about management's commitment to our foundational purpose, creating a perception that we might be leaning more toward a corporate mindset than a compassionate one. It’s important for us to keep our priorities aligned with why we’re here. CONSTANTLY hearing about “billing” and judging staff performances based upon billing can leave them wondering whether we’re genuinely focused on the right mission. The efforts made for the kids and the progress they achieve during services are what’s most important, however, this is often overlooked if billing targets are not met. It’s crucial that we find a balance and remember the core values that brought us together in the first place. 
Another significant issue is pay. Raises are tied to performance reviews, and when you do get one, it’s basically nothing added onto your pay checks. You can barely make a living here. This company needs to remember staff have families to care for, and the current pay rates are not competitive in today’s job market. Many other companies, even those offering the same guaranteed hours, are providing significantly higher compensation. Please do better and don’t forget the importance of your clients, staff, and especially don’t forget to take care of ALL your centers EQUALLY.
Overall, the clients and direct staff are what make it the best experience. Beyond that, management will be the downfall of this company and HIGHLY contribute to the ongoing turnover rates they face. 

I work at ACP currently, this is a great job for experience. You will meet great kids and have great co workers. I feel in love with this job on day one. The workplace culture is really a lot less toxic than most places, the occasional disagreement will happen but it never explodes or is big drama. You will do alot you do NOT get paid for such as cleaning and you are expected to clean after every client. You will likely have no time in between clients but will still be expected to clean, cleaning is defiantly no big but BTs should be able to bill for their time even if its 5 minutes. You will be micromanaged... when my client has a tantrum usually the treatment coordinator, BCBA, Lead therapist 1 and 2 will all be in the room trying to help but it is not helpful at all, one kid does not require 5 people to respond. You will be micromanaged on how you run your session, they will come in and observe you and interrupt you to tell you they don't like a certain way you do this or that and it will be for the smallest things that can wait until after you are done with your table session. You will also receive "help" and it will be just more micromanagement, for example a lead therapist will come in during table session and hug/tickle/ and distract a kid or a client will be a little cranky and a lead therapist will run in, push you out of the way and tend to the child themselves. It is a great learning environment however when you get experience it can be a little insulting to be so closely scrutinized. The workplace culture is for the most part fun, but there is occasional a little bit of racial insensitivity (IE writing happy Juneteenth right under happy pride essentially reducing Juneteenth a holiday comparable to Christmas) but I know it's not intentional. They are very accepting LBTQ+ and using correct pronouns. Also breaks are rare if your part time so prepare to work 6 hours with no break at all. And ask about being paid to do RBT. Also, kids put toys in their mouths they aren't cleans, common surfaces aren't wiped, bathrooms are not regularly cleaned, carpets stink, fridge is nasty. No name badge or company merch (IE fleece jacket, or company tshirt). They are cheap cheap cheap.

Unfortunately, my experience with this organization was disappointing and fell far short of the expectations set during the interview process. While the role was initially presented as an exciting and well-supported opportunity, the reality was quite different.

The onboarding process was disorganized, and communication with HR was inconsistent, often requiring multiple follow-ups to receive basic information. During orientation, I was explicitly told to expect workplace drama, which was a red flag regarding the company culture. The role I accepted did not align with the job description, and I found myself managing responsibilities well beyond the original scope, essentially handling the workload of multiple positions with little guidance or support.

There was an expectation to work outside regular hours, including starting as early as 6 a.m. and taking work home — without additional compensation or consideration. Paid time off policies were unclear and punitive; for instance, employees were not compensated for calling out the day before or after a holiday, which felt unreasonable.

Compensation was below industry standards, and efforts to address salary concerns with HR were unsuccessful, as inquiries often went unanswered. The physical work environment also raised health and safety concerns, with cleanliness being an issue, particularly in shared spaces such as restrooms and break rooms .

During one training session, a staff member inadvertently shared an email that revealed another employee had contracted pink eye from a child, which highlighted ongoing hygiene and health concerns within the ACP centers.

I would advise potential applicants to consider these factors carefully. While every workplace has its challenges, basic support, clear communication, and a safe, respectful environment should be a given. I believe anyone seeking employment deserves better than what was offered in this role

While the opportunity to work with the children was the most fulfilling aspect of this position, the overall experience was overshadowed by significant issues within the organization's leadership and culture.

There was a noticeable pattern of favoritism—new employees with little to no experience were quickly promoted, while experienced, educated, and dependable staff were routinely overlooked. Those who showed up early, rarely called out, and maintained excellent rapport with clients received little recognition. Meanwhile, staff who were inconsistent or demonstrated unethical behavior were often elevated.

Two consecutive summers we worked in facilities that reached extreme temperatures during heat advisories, without access to air conditioning. This posed serious health risks, not only to staff but to the children as well. Despite these concerns, leadership made little effort to protect our well-being.

Management's approach to staff relations lacked appreciation and transparency. Voicing concerns or advocating for oneself often resulted in being labeled “difficult,” met with unprofessional behavior such as glaring looks and passive-aggressive comments. Many felt pressured to remain silent, being told they should simply be grateful to have a job.

Perhaps most disappointing was the atmosphere of judgment and disrespect directed at families. This is deeply troubling in an environment that should prioritize the dignity and well-being of the children above all else.

Ultimately, I chose to leave this position to protect my own mental health. I still cherish the connections I built with the children and families I served. However, the culture and leadership made it clear that staying would have meant compromising my values, and I refuse to do that.

Autism Care Partners was heart warming in only one way. The children, the children made everyday worth it. I went to work everyday because of the children. 

Working for Autism Care Partners was hard. It was hard because workers were all treated unfairly. They over worked behavioral therapists. Supervisors/leadrerships will hang out in the office and talk about their employees. Roll their eyes or make smart remarks at other supervisiors if someone calls for help. Supervisors will text the other supervisors during work hours to complain about other Behavioral therapists. They will text you if they want to know if everything's alright with you, after a whole work day. But they will not check on u during work.  They will not talk to you if something is going wrong, they will out front tell you somethings wrong in front of clients and other employees,  instead of professionally pulling you aside or into the office. They do not have respect for everyone only certain ones. As long as they feel like they are a boss then they will play thay role disrespectfully to make themselves feel good, and then they go to the office and close the door wirh others. Just the whole supervision in Austism Care Partners makes people feel uncomfortable.

You don't get monthly reviews. I was told I was getting a review. Then it just never was talked about again, I asked about it and then was told reviews for raises were done yearly. 

I suggest you not work here, you can not grow here unless, you give them ALL YOUR TIME.



I have been an ACP employee now for just about 4 years. In my 4 years I have learnt ALOT with the help of the BCBA's in my role as a behavior technician. Although support for BT's were a struggle at one point, the company has recognized the issues and gaps and have been actively trying to change the dynamic of the centers company wide. In my time here I have made a difference in SO many children's lives. The ABA therapy we use is thoroughly trained as well as on-going training that is offered throughout your time here. In the past couple of months I've been promoted twice, from a BT to a recruiter to a SR recruiter. Growth opportunities are offered to internal employees first but also to those that have strong work ethics (as with every company). Raises are offered through yearly reviews strictly based off of work performance. All and all, if you're supporting the company's mission and putting forth the effort, you will be acknowledged for that. You can't go anywhere, not put in the work and then expect to get a raise, so why would it be different here ?! The administration doesnt really need to have contact with the BTs but the BCBA's do work hard to provide support, supervision and ongoing training to ensure everyone has the confidence to work successfully with the kiddos. The team collaborative approach that is encouraged here goes a long way to providing the best possible care to the children we serve! 

If you asked me 3 years ago to review this company, I would have said it is a train wreck. However, flash forward to almost 2025, this company has made astronomical progress from where we started. I have had the pleasure of being part of ACP's growth, all while they push my own professional growth forward. I was able to earn numerous promotions, indicating the possibility for growth ACP that provides. Additionally, ACP funded nearly a third of my masters degree, which is incredibly helpful. I truly believe that any job is what you put into it. If you put the time and effort into ACP, they will give it back to you! This company changed my professional life for the better, and I intend to continue growing with them!

In 2024 the company restructured, resulting in a significant amount of progress and lots of positive changes (shout out to Cameron for being incredibly supportive and caring for those who work under him).  If you worked here prior to this restructuring, I promise it got so much better! HR is fair and follows the handbook, so nothing is ever out of left field. Marketing is amazing at highlighting our staff's growth and pushing morale boosting. Overall, I highly recommend ACP whether you are starting out in ABA, or you are an established clinician looking for a positive change. 

Also- I know for a fact that leadership worked with children prior to moving into their roles. 

I worked at this company for a period of time and unfortunately my experience was not a positive one. The work environment often felt unprofessional, with gossip and whispering happening frequently throughout the workplace. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere rather than a supportive team setting.

There were no guaranteed hours, and schedules were reduced without much notice, which made it difficult to rely on the position for stability. Training lacked structure and consistent support, which made learning the role more challenging than it needed to be. I also observed favoritism toward certain employees, which impacted morale.

Additionally, policies such as extended wait times to use the restroom felt unreasonable. I was also not given the opportunity to complete my final assessment, which prevented me from moving forward with obtaining my RBT certification.

I appreciate the opportunity I was given, but I believe there are important areas that need improvement, particularly in professionalism, communication, fairness, and employee support.

This company is an absolute joke and doesn't value it employees at all. The "chain of command" hardly knows anything and it takes forever to get help & answers. The compensation for our time, skills, and labor is ridiculous. There are zero other services offered at this location- speech is virtual which makes it away harder, there's no OT which most of the kids would greatly benefit from. Don't even get me started on PTO. The PTO is an absolute joke! You accumulate both vacation and sick time, and HAVE to use it anytime you call out or leave early, which is ridiculous because then there's no way to actually accumulate enough to take a vacation or when you actually need sick time. I've never worked at a company that made you accumulate sick time, it was always automatically given 40 hours/5 days after 90 days on the job. Upper management could care less about complaints and they're essentially soulless, energy sucking vampires whom I'm not even sure have worked with children at all and are just in it for the money.
