Connec-to-Talk

I have been promoted through many roles in this company, and was able to get my Master's, finish my hours, and pass my BCBA exam while at this company. This is the 5th ABA company I have worked with, and this company is very obviously NOT in it for the money, but in it for the love of the kids. 

The clinic is open from 8:30-6:30, but as a BCBA I am able to have flexibility within my hours. I am able to have the flexibility of Hybrid work, and choose the days when I am working from home. The billable requirement is very easy to hit, with a full case load, and a full case load is not unreasonable. 

There is an expectation to supervise your clients at least 10% of the time. With a client load of 8ish kids, depending on the amount of hours they receive, it is very easy to hit the billable expectation. 

The only downside is that the admin team is not in state. However, HR is in state, so if you need immediate help with something she is around to help out. While most of the admin team is not in state, they are easy to reach and easy to talk to. They do, genuinely, try to validate your concerns and if applicable, they handle them promptly. 

There are some things that are out of this companies control, but are unfortunate things about living in this state. I have been an RBT and Trainee in 4 states now, and I have not seen such a saturated market as I have in Maryland. The turnover is extremely high in each clinic, not just Connec-To-Talk. However, this leads to unfortunate situations where clients have to be put on hold until a new therapist starts.

Overall, Conner-To-Talk has an incredibly positive atmosphere, where you will get back what you put in. The amount of buy-in that staff and admin have really effect client outcomes, and buy-in is certainly not in short demand at this clinic. Therapist's always ask knowledgable questions, and take feedback well. 

I came to Connec-to-Talk with over 8 years of prior corporate experience. It was such a breath of fresh air transitioning to this company. This industry is so different from what I've previously experienced. They've set up structures to ensure that people in clinic have on-site support. It's not just BCBAs and Therapists in the clinics, like you'll see in a lot of ABA companies. They have a dedicated CC in each clinic to support the staff and a QCM in each region to support both therapists and BCBAs clinically. I think it's unrealistic to expect the owners to be physically present at all times when the company operates across 3 states. I've seen people reference feeling like administration isn't involved, but on a weekly basis I watch the owners on zoom calls with all levels of employees. I've never personally seen ownership involved to that level with employees that reach out with legitimate concerns. In my time here, I've watched numerous therapists and BCBAs leave for other companies and later reach out to be rehired once they see that the grass is not necessarily greener. If you haven't been exposed to a lot of different industries, I'm sure you won't see the company for the gem that it is. Quality is the goal - the QCM team is developing a robust training program behind the scenes and ownership does daily individual case reviews to ensure clients are getting what they need in terms of service hours. I feel like my suggestions are taken to heart here and that ownership does look for solutions. 

I have been working at Connec-to-Talk for some time now, and it’s been a very rewarding experience. As a smaller organization compared to other ABA companies, Connec-to-Talk fosters a close-knit environment where you really get to know your coworkers and receive intense emotional support. 

While there have been comments about the high turnover rate, it’s important to understand that life happens, and people often find other paths. The company has faced its challenges, including addressing certain conflicts between team members that were affecting the work environment. However, management has been very considerate and quick to address these issues, ensuring a safe and supportive work environment for everyone.

It’s also worth mentioning that some individuals were let go for not providing adequate support or being present when needed. These decisions, while difficult, were made to maintain the high standards of care and support that Connec-to-Talk is committed to. The current BCBA is doing an exceptional job, providing guidance and support to the team. 

also want to add that when you work here is not just about the job; it’s about the bond you form with the kids and the joy you experience in the clinic and the progress you see over time. The distribution of cleaning time could be better 

my  CTT clinic is like home its the most helpful friendly and fun environment i. love going to work and seeing my kiddos make progress every day, its what motivates me.  admin is a whole different story they focus much more on $ over quality services sad to say. there are problems that need permanent fixes but we continue to get temporary bandaid solutions. its also just difficult, inconvenient and stressful  when you work somewhere and the person scheduling you and your whole company is in a state 1000 miles away. scheduling has caused a lot of tension within the clinic environment and additional stress on the therpists. scheduling doesnt know know who we are they dont know the kids they dont know the BCBAs or who works with who. theres an issue with the schdeules every day which impacts all kiddos during transiton times. this was never  an issue before the "scheduling team' which makes me feel like the its just created  incredibly unnecessary added  stress and inconvenience to the employees  and the kids parents

I joined CTT on March 31, 2025, as an ABA therapist and was promoted to Clinic Assistant within just 3 months—before I was even licensed. Now I’m a licensed RBT, and I’ve seen how this company truly promotes from within and supports your growth every step of the way.

The culture here is positive, team-oriented, and incredibly supportive. Leadership is approachable and always willing to help you improve. There’s an open-door policy, consistent feedback, and a genuine desire to see staff succeed.

What makes this job so special is the impact you make. Every day, I get to help children and families through meaningful ABA work. As someone who came from a hospitality background, making this career shift was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Plus, the company knows how to keep things fun—with dress-up days, pizza parties, and client engagement weeks I now help coordinate!

If you’re looking for growth, purpose, and a supportive environment—apply. You’ll love it here.

Like every ABA company Connec-To-Talk has their pros and cons, however their pros definitely outweigh the cons. If you have never been in the ABA field it is difficult to understand what ABA is about, and starting in it can be rough which is where I believe a lot of poor ABA reviews come from. Connec-To-Talk really tries to retain employees, and if there is something that is not satisfactory they will try to help come up with an appropriate solution to the problem. It can be difficult to work  in their Maryland locations, since most of their admin team is in Connecticut, however there is always a line of communication. They offer hours to students in their Master's program, along with various positions that allow you to get unrestricted hours. If I ever need a lunch break, all I have to do is ask the CC and they get it figured out. Pikesville, needs a bit of a facelift, however I have been told that it is getting new paint, and new carpets! Overall, Connec-To-Talk has a positive atmosphere, and a relaxed atmosphere that fosters learning, cooperative team work, and happy kiddos and employees. 

I have been a BCBA with Connec-to-Talk in South Carolina since 2021.  I have found that working here has given me an excellent balance between the resources of a larger company (benefits, administrative team, etc.) while also having a small-company feel and support systems.  I have been in the field for 15 years, and I feel that this company has the best work-life balance and genuine care and concern for their employees than anywhere else I have worked.   While they are owned by speech pathologists, there are senior BCBA staff assigned to each location to collaborate on policies, expectations, and procedures to ensure that the clients get the highest qualilty of services possible.  BCBAs are encouraged to communicate their ideas and concerns, and their input is truly taken into account at a higher level.   Direct care therapists at this location frequently report their feelings of being supported, clear on recommendations, and excitement to come to work and see their clients.  

I’ve been with Connec-to-Talk for just over five years, and during that time I’ve had the opportunity to take on a variety of different roles within the company. The room for internal growth here is truly inspiring, and I’ve always felt valued and appreciated along the way.

The BCBAs are amazing—supportive, knowledgeable, and approachable. Even when I was working part-time as an in-home therapist, I felt thoroughly supported. While the job can be demanding at times, it is extremely rewarding to be such a meaningful part of the kiddos’ journeys.

I’ve also had the chance to work alongside some incredibly strong therapists who continuously push me to grow and improve. The clinic environment is fun and collaborative, and ever since the introduction of clinical assistants, there’s been a real boost in staff morale—through team activities, new curriculum, and themed weeks that everyone enjoys.

I would definitely recommend this job to anyone looking to make an impact while growing both professionally and personally.

I have worked with Connec-to-Talk for the past two years. In my time at the company I have had tremendous opportunity for growth and development within my clinical skills and having the chance to grow my administrative skillset. As a BCBA, the company was incredibly receptive to my needs and continually looked for ways to help me be successful (whether it was with travel time, caseload adjustments, or new roles). 

I genuinely was impressed with the company's commitment to quality Behavior Analysis and training of their new staff, BCBA trainees, and RBTs. As a BHCOE accredited organization, Connec-to-Talk is absolutely dedicated to the BACB's mission and values and is continually looking for new ways to promote continuing education (either through free CEU events or through invited speaker workshops, and through their mentorship program for new BCBAs).

I would gladly work here again in the future. 

CTT is a flexible, supportive and client centered company. My biggest reason for staying at CTT so long, is their treatment of clients, clients are not pushed into sessions longer than appropriate for them, and programming is NET centered and fun for both the therapist and client. 

In addition to this, CTT is one of the only companies I have seen with a wide range of growth opportunities for RBTs and BCBA trainees including Senior ABA roles, Case manager roles (in which a portion of weekly hours are dedicated to unrestricted/indirect tasks) and Clinical Coordinator roles which involves staff training and clinic management. 

CTT is always open to feedback, and growing. Management has a very open door policy for all employees, and concerns are always heard out. If you’re looking for a fun, upbeat, flexible place to work with strong clinical values and teamwork, CTT is the place for you!
