Family of Kidz

A typical day working as a Behavior Technician at Family of Kidz is both rewarding and engaging. The role involves working 1:1 with clients to implement individualized behavior plans, teach communication and daily living skills, and collect accurate progress data. It also requires patience, flexibility, and collaboration with supervisors and families to support consistent treatment. This role offers the chance to witness client growth, celebrate milestones, strengthen ABA skills, and make a lasting difference for children and their families. 

It's a great place to begin, and get your foot in the door to learn about EI, CPSE, CSE. The staff and colleagues are great, and working with the kids is good.  That's as far as the positives go, stay a year and move on. There is little to no room for growth, little growth in salary, and your are severely overworked. Most days you are bringing your work home (documentation), it is never ending if you are not good at managing your time, and figuring out how to complete it on the job. You are given 30 minutes a day only for documentation, sometimes 1hr), and you could be seeing anywhere from 14-20+ kids a day (due to group sessions). There is ALOT of talk while you work at the company, about "how great it is", and about all the things they are doing to grow the company, but there is little to no care/understanding for their current staff. If they would give there current employees the time of day, support, and most importantly documentation time, there would be a better work culture. They need to improve how they treat ALL of there staff, improve salary and growth options, and create a better work environment.  Currently it's a pediatric mill. 

I have only been working at Family of Kidz for a few months but in the short time that I have been here I have been overwhelmed by a sense of community, motivation, professionalism, and love for the field. If you are looking for an education environment where the people who work with you want to see you and your clients/students succeed more than anything, Family of Kidz is the company for you. Every single person here (especially the students) are extremely inspiring. Before working with Family of Kidz, I was a special education in multiple settings for 6 years and I feel that I have learned and grown more here at Family of Kidz over the last three months than I have in my previous experiences as a teacher. Family of Kidz values students success above all else and I am extremely impressed by the work that the clinical supervisors and team leads do ensure staff understands of the principles of ABA. Family of Kidz is the type of work environment where work doesn't feel like work. Work here feels like success. 

The place is poorly managed and has a horrible working environment. People are promoted based on popularity, not education or experience. And the higher level staff act like you’re beneath them when some lower level staff are actually more educated and experienced. Also you will not get enough indirect hours unless you are a senior staff. The company claims they like to promote from within and instead hire new senior level staff that are less qualified. No matter how much effort you put in, if they don’t like you then you will not be promoted. Supervisors do not provide a high standard of BCBA Supervision and do not equip you with the skills to be a good  BCBA yourself unless you’re one of the “favorites.” I have never worked in a place with such a lack of appreciation while being shown constant disrespect for my level of experience in the field. BCBA supervisors do not care about you at all and act like supervision is an inconvenience to them. You are set up to fail and always feel like you’re doing something wrong even if you’re following protocols exactly.

I recommend Family of Kidz ABA facility for your transition from high school to becoming a Behavioral Technician for autistic children. As an 18-year-old, starting your career in this field is a rewarding choice, and Family of Kidz provides a nurturing environment to kickstart your journey. With experienced professionals and a welcoming atmosphere, you'll receive the support and guidance needed as you develop your skills. Working with autistic children requires patience, empathy, and a genuine passion for making a difference in their lives, and Family of Kidz excels in fostering these qualities in their staff. The hands-on experience you'll gain here will be invaluable for your future endeavors in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. Choose Family of Kidz for a fulfilling and educational start to your career as a Behavioral Technician.

I had the opportunity to work as an BT at Family of Kidz, and overall, the experience was positive in terms of working with the children and professional growth. However, I felt that staff management and internal communication could be significantly improved. In particular, the way certain disciplinary situations were handled seemed unfair and disproportionate, lacking a clear process for employees to defend themselves and without equitable treatment for all staff, which raised concerns about unfair and unequal treatment. Additionally, due to poor treatment from the director, many new employees join but leave after a short time. Another area that needs attention is cleanliness, as the children spend a lot of time in the facility, but it is often not kept clean. I believe the company has room to strengthen its HR policies and foster a fairer and more respectful work environment.

My experience working at FOK (New Hyde Park) had its pros and its cons. There was definitely structure throughout the workday which was extremely helpful. The Team leader created checklists to better help plan the day. The director was incredibly accommodating to my personal needs while working there which was greatly appreciated. I learned in depth about the background of ABA and how to be a better provider for the clients there. Unfortunately, I felt as though the workplace culture was very negative and impacted my mindset before and after work. Teamwork is very important while working in this field and I felt as though there was an unnecessary amount of gossip (despite the effort to create boundaries) & criticism which made it difficult to work alongside my team members. 

I think the most important place to start is that this company cares 100% about the children/teens/ adults they service and work extremely hard to do what they can to provide excellent services to these individuals. This is a large company with many service lines and people but the managers in the service line you are working on work very hard to make a strong connection with you and provide the support you need to grow and develop in your field. The company is collaborative and always growing which leads to many opportunities. I always feel like I am getting honest feedback with the support I need to make the changes necessary to take my teaching to the next level. I love working for this company and can’t wait to see where it takes me.

A typical day at work is very busy dealing with behavioral problems .I believe that I didn’t learn anything from work at this job.Management is so racist.Management don’t care about their staff and their staff opinions. My workplace is very chaotic. You have to be walking around on your tiptoes. They have a lot of racist staff. The hottest part about my job is dealing with behaviors that Supervisor can’t handle or deal with the kids behavior. You have a higher rate of getting hurt also you have no support from management. this job don’t have no job security. the job compensation/benefit is a very terrible if you get hard trying to pay for Worker’s Compensation or pay for days that you have to take off to go to the doctors.

I have been working at Family of Kidz for 5 months, and it has been a great experience. I currently work in an administrative position in the Human Resources department, and the work environment is extremely pleasant. It is truly amazing to be part of an HR team that is supportive of each other as well as all the employees in the company. The HR team makes it a priority to engage in active listening to make sure employee questions or concerns are being answered and resolved. I also feel very comfortable asking questions when needed, as everyone in the office is very welcoming and helpful, which makes me look forward to going to work every day.
