Comprehensive Behavior Supports

I've worked with Comprehensive Behavior Supports for over a year as a contract BCBA, supervising home-based ABA therapy for children. The administrative staff has been nothing short of supportive and responsive to any programmatic issue that required me to reach out to them to discuss.  Their compensation is competitive and the administration is extremely accessible and incredibly willing to work collaboratively with their staff.  Since I chose to work in a contract position, I am not entitled to benefits such as paid time off, retirement plans or medical benefits, however, this is expected in such as position.  

The agency continually shows their appreciation for my dedication to my clients by providing me with recognition in the form of written and verbal acknowledgment along with financial incentives (holiday bonus).  This is extremely rare in a contract position and really makes the agency stand out as an exceptional place to work!  

I've referred many of my friends and colleagues to work with CBS and they all have only positive reports of their experiences with the agency as well!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part is doing it from your heart! I was so excited to assist children with autism because I knew I had the drive to put my skills to the test! When you set out to do something to assist others put your best foot down. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not getting enough hours, or the correct pay when you do someone else’s job that you weren’t hired to do.  Buying items to assist with the child to grow and you’re told they can’t reimburse you you. Not getting enough money or hours but getting hit on by your 
client , and not getting more to bare that. Also when the parents don’t apply the same skills you assist with after you leave and expect a different outcome.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well, you work at the clients home and it was the worst experience, you have to worry about them talking bad about you in front of your client / their child when you need to call out . Also parents disappear when it’s time for you to leave or they go hide/ sleep

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is for the strong not the weak

What is the best part of working at the company?
BCBA and other support service personnel

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Quitting my full-time jog to serve a client. Only to have the family to request a change of service provider at the request of the young client,

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worked mostly in the clinic. But, the in-home services were challenging. Many sessions were canceled because family members were delayed in commuting from NYC. Commuting to the home was also difficult because of triffic.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Conducting two-hour sessions. Sessions at the clinic in Paramus were good. RBT had to supply materials to conduct intervention services. Many materials were not appropriate for older client needs.

Was hired for a BT role and was given basically no training. The BCBA was at my first session,  of course, and gave me a crash course for about 20 mins and that was it. Afterward, I was left alone with no training, no previous experience, and not even starting the certification for the RBT course. So I really did not know what I was doing. Reached out for more support and did not get a clear answer. Also, they are SO organized. Can not stress this enough!! They did not let me know when the family canceled a session. For the future of this company comprehensive training needs to be given to new hires and better communication all together. It is really unfortunate because I did not feel like I was making a difference in the child's life because I did not know what I was doing and they seemed to not care. 

It is a wonderful feeling to get up in the morning and look forward to going to work! Even on the more challenging days, it is enjoyable. The collaborative culture at CBS provides unlimited support, fosters teamwork, and encourages constructive feedback and room for growth. The management team genuinely values their employees and offers an open door policy for communication. Not to mention our office is fun, welcoming, and always stocked with the best snacks! Finally, CBS is guided by their mission to effectively service individuals with autism and the evident passion among employees proves we are doing great work here.

CBS is an energetic, supportive and collaborative company to work for. As a BCBA, it is easy to become isolated while working in the field. Upon moving to NYC, I wanted to ensure I worked at a company with a supportive clinical team and emphasized quality of services over quantity of clients. I found that at CBS. CBS provides opportunities to learn and grow as a professional. With a supportive and helpful management team, BCBAs are able to focus on what is most important: clinical issues and progress for each client.

I came across Comprehensive Behavior Supports one day when I was looking for my next opportunity and I am very happy that I did! I worked as a teachers assistant for a bunch of years and always had a passion to help children on the autism spectrum. At CBS I am able to work as a Teachers assistant still, and then I can work with Special Children after hours and on the weekends. This is a great secondary position and I have learned so much about how to deal with children on the spectrum by implementing the techniques of ABA therapy. The BCBA is the one who creates the treatment plan and I implement the techniques and work with the client to reach certain goals. I have seen a lot of progress with my clients and love what I do.

Working here, your daily experience is going to depends on your BCBA, the family you work with, maybe the case manager. All of that was fine for me. However the company of CBS, who you will never meet and never be able to get anyone on the phone consistently, is so unethical and shady. Caution: Watch Your Paychecks. They will make you waste time and energy chasing down your money.
They will pretend it was a mistake and act as if they are hurried to fix it once you start documenting their refusal to send your money, but this happens time and time again. 
They offered me $4 more dollars an hour than my older job to take a case, not worth it, deeply regret working with them.

While working with the kids is awesome, the lack of stable hours can be detrimental despite the pay per hour not being bad at all. It’s hard to have more than one kid at a time since all of them need services in the afternoon. Very lacking supervision, BCBAs aren’t very engaged and a lot of the goal setting really ends up on the Para’s shoulders (which I don’t mind for the experience but it is frustrating). There are, though, a few BCBAs who will make your job feel so much more fulfilling and like you’re working as a team, but that’s a very very rare exception. High Case Manager turnover rate as of late, which leads to many miscommunication issues with both paras and parents, which is sad because the client is the one who ends up being affected the most. 

Working with this company has been a great learning experience. I got so very lucky; I am currently working with a lovely and supportive family. I feel very comfortable in their home, and I love seeing the incredible progress my client is making over time. My BCBA is also awesome, and I love working alongside her. The only downside is the onboarding process; I experienced very long wait times between emails, and I had to bombard everyone with emails daily to get a response. It also took me ages to get my client, so I initially felt very lost at the bottom of the bureaucratic ladder, unable to get a hold of anyone. So once you get past the initial hurdle, it's a very rewarding experience.
