Autism of America

My time at Autism of America was short, but overall it was a meaningful and rewarding experience. I enjoyed working one-on-one with the child assigned to me and appreciated the structure and clarity of the ABA programs. The work is hands-on and requires patience, focus, and consistency, and I found it fulfilling to support a child’s growth in real time. The main reason I didn’t stay longer was due to personal circumstances and the lack of benefits such as health insurance, which are important in a role where you may be exposed to illnesses. The hourly rate was also on the lower side for the level of responsibility the job requires, especially without benefits. However, the mission of the organization is great, and the work itself is genuinely rewarding. I would recommend this job to those who are passionate about ABA and looking for hands-on experience in the field.

Working in ABA definitely has its challenges, but I truly feel that my employers are passionate about the field and the kiddos we work with. Not only that, but they really advocate for me as a BT and encourage communication all around (HR, BCBA’s, the head of the company even).

Mileage can be a concern if we are paired up with a kiddo who lives far, but they gave me a choice and compensated me accordingly, which I really appreciated. They do their best to keep techs as local as possible and they reiterated this to me several times.

I truly enjoy working for a company who focuses on quality of care over quantity and highly recommend anyone who wants to start out in the field to contact Autism of America. I hope to grow with this company and the amazing families I get to work with!!

This job was so frustrating. They make you do a bunch of stuff before even being able to start, all of which is either unpaid or paid at $10 an hour. The centers have zero supervision, I witnessed verbal abuse and unnecessary physical  restraint used on small children. They hire people who have no experience and only do a “40 hour online course” which is so mundane and boring. This company is just really sad in the way that they are supposed to be helping kids with autism but they’re so unorganized and messy I struggle to see that they’re doing much good at all. The kids are wonderful, no issues there. 

This is my third telehealth position as a BCBA. Billables are manageable and achievable, admin is easy to connect with and contact, EMR system is a quick learn. Direct managers are accessible, quick to respond, and have worked in the field for years which makes it a place a newer BCBA can actually learn new skills! One of the best things is the autonomy - I can make my own supervision schedule, parent training schedule and work around what works best for me, my caseload, and my staff to best support them.  Downside is lack of staff training prior to sessions starting but with effective supervision it’s manageable. 

I have never been part of an organization like Autism of America The leadership is so accessible and provides clear direction on their expectations, but let’s you accomplish their goals in the way you best see fit. The culture of the company is energetic with a very youthful feel. The kiddo's and families you work with are awesome. There is a lot of support from the BCBA and Managment. The growth goals for the company will literally allow you to choose your path, given that you’re a good employee, over the course of a few years. 

I have been a BT for 4 years, with Autism of America . In that time, I have been a part of a fast growing company and have experienced numerous opportunities for growth and advancement. If you work hard, are dedicated to your kids and cultivate a supportive environment for your team, you will grow. I've never seen this many growth opportunities anywhere. I would strongly recommend Autism of America to you if you are a serious BT looking for advancement.

Working at Autism of America has changed my life. Not only did I gain a family of amazing coworkers but I am making a difference every day. I look forward to going to work each day because the kiddos and coworkers are amazing with the most culture and diversity I have ever seen in the workplace! Autism of america treats their employees fair and has competitive wages! Everyone is so welcoming, and making a difference on the clients makes me happy. I wouldn’t have stayed working with them this long, had I not been comfortable 

The higher management of Autism of America treats their employees the same as they treat the families they serve, with kindness and respect. Aside from the positive culture and fair pay, trust and confidence was formed since my first day. A work/life balance is strongly encouraged. Having attained this position after obtaining my degree, this job has shown me everyday why I’ve chosen to work in this field.

all the staff you work with directly in center are super nice and supportive, however HR is a bit of a disaster with little/last minute communication. there are also no benefits (other then sick time as of this February as required by the state) and no real breaks unless you ask someone to watch your client, there is also no guarantee you'll have full hours or even have a client still if you loose them due to insurance or any other reason. 

This is a place that you SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM! They don't provide pay for training especially with the 40 hour training. They are horrible and dishonest. When it comes to turning in paperwork with personal information on it, they are happy to take it, but when you have an issue with something they are AMAZING at ignoring your requests and emails.
