Building Blocks Therapy

Working at Building Blocks can be very rewarding, but it is a challenging job. The clients are the silver lining as watching them progress is  amazing. It is a very emotionally and mentally draining job, but if it’s the job for you then it’s all worth it. Management is very disorganized and cliquey, you’re either in or out, and if you’re out, good luck. The other RBTs and BCBAs are great to work with and the BCBAs really care about getting feedback from the RBTs as well as giving feedback. I learned so much in my time there and if it was not for poor management I would have stayed long term. They do offer paid RBT training and paid PCM training, and you will always be paid even if your client cancels. Pay is fair compared to other ABA companies. Unfortunately there are zero breaks and the attendance policy is extremely strict and unequally enforced. Bonuses are offered quarterly, but everything possible is done to deem employees ineligible for them. It has the potential to be a really great workplace, with some staffing changes!

Working at this ABA center was a good learning experience, especially for someone new to the field of behavior analysis. The job gave me hands-on experience working directly with children and implementing behavior plans, which helped me develop patience, problem-solving skills, and a better understanding of applied behavior analysis.

The team environment could be supportive at times, and many of the staff truly cared about the clients and wanted to see them succeed. Building relationships with the kids and seeing their progress was definitely the most rewarding part of the job.

However, the role could also be very demanding. Staff burnout was fairly common due to the intensity of the work and the fast-paced environment. There were times when communication or consistency between supervisors could have been stronger, which sometimes made the job more stressful than it needed to be.

Overall, it was a valuable experience for gaining experience in ABA, but it can be a challenging environment and may not be the best long-term fit for everyone.

I have worked at a number of ABA centers and special education settings and Building Blocks is the most ethical center around. There are consistent team meetings, collaboration among therapists, opportunities for growth, and an emphasis on compassionate care. If there are difficulties with an intervention, this can be resolved in a team meeting. Clients go on field trips and have large gross motor play areas. Clients have an extremely large selection of play activities and toys to choose from - they do not skimp. Also, the office staff are incredibly supportive and know ABA.  All ABA centers should be modeled off Building Blocks. 

Through my time at Building Blocks Therapy I have came to understand ABA therapy and how to fine tune my skills with the help of a few (no longer employed) BCBA’s! They lack the ability to support staff where they are but instead only support them where they think they should be. The idea of Building Blocks is great and the owners are awesome however the management they have running the Avon office need more training on how to treat people and how to help them instead of tearing them down. The pay is great but not for what you will have to endure at Building Blocks!

I’ve been working at Solon for some time now, We have had very good staff come and go, they offer a lot of staff incentives and extra organized outings for staff to bond. I have met some amazing people here. it is hard to move up though, and if you are offered a new position it typically comes with more hours instead of extra pay. I think it’s a great job for people starting out but I also think we need some more experienced staff to benefit the kids as much as they need. I have had many ups and downs while working here but have made some life long friends and memories.  

This is the best BCBA job I have ever worked at. There is so much room for growth and learning. The environment is positive and fun with genuine employees who are excited to see the potential growth with all the clients. BBT really values the work life balance for employees and BCBAs have achievable caseloads. The company does such fun activities and outings for staff and really value their wellness !

As a new employee, my role here so far has been great! At Building Blocks Therapy you will learn, be challenged and feel rewarded. The training was clear and simple but even after training the learning does not end. The staff has been very helpful and great at giving guidance and answering questions. This job offers such fun and special relationships built with clients. 

If you are looking for an engaging and active career with children, this is the place! You will work 1:1 with a client that has a small group of people that work together on goals! BCBAs are responsive and super helpful. 👌 
Wages are extremely fair for the amount of work and background required. Paid training and opportunities for growth within the field and in the company! 

Building Blocks Therapy is dedicated to the success and well-being of each of their clients! BBT is committed to staying up to date with the most recent ABA interventions and shows genuine care for each of their clients. There are opportunities for career growth and leadership positions within the company. A warm, welcoming, and fulfilling place to work!

I really enjoyed working for this company and with the employees in the short time I was there. The support from the coworkers was unlike any experience I’ve had, and made everyday easier. The office staff made sure you knew what was going on and was very organized. If I wasn’t moving I would have loved working there longer!
