Iabas-For-Families

I have been working for iabas for over 2 years. When I started, I started as a new supervisor and received training from their CEO. 
Over the 2 years there has been a lot of changes with this company -in honesty I did consider leaving last year when they went through many changes.  I am very glad I did not leave!  The owner has turned this company around. They have an entire support department that addresses our concerns. Even though we are all remote spaces have been created for communication and collaboration. There is no more waiting for email responses, I feel heard and respected as an employee. The company culture is focused on fostering collaboration and accepting feedback from all employees. Owner is always available to meet and very respectful to all employees and their concerns. 
 If there is an escalated issues with a client, the owner shows up to meet and support me and my case bcba. When I started I felt like this company grew too fast which affected clinical quality. From when I started the clinical quality has become so much better. There are so many checks in place to make sure clients receive services with high standard of clinical quality which is maintained by consistent oversight and support.
 I didn't think it was possible after all the changes last year but I have seen this place transform into the best aba company I have worked for and I am very glad I stayed. 

Someone said it's a sinking ship. With all the changes the sailing is rough. The dedicated crew is skillful helpful, but many are jumping ship to find stable ground. It would be helpful if agency data was published to show how clients are satisfied with services and progressing. Staff can speak openly to raise concerns and suggestions, and the end response from management is to apply an agency-wide change like staff changes or policy changes. It's puzzling if these changes are intentional or imposed by other factors like turnover or profitability.  The CEO has good intentions to provide quality services but perhaps lacks the oversight infrastructure to maintain standards. The poor planning and communication has ripple effects that destabilize the workplace for the crucial behavior technicians. Many are cheered on by the combined effort, but some predict that the company will be bought by a larger agency.

Overall, this is a decent place to start as a beginner, especially for gaining initial experience. However, there are some challenges that made the job more difficult. One major downside is that clients can cancel sessions without warning, which means you lose that hour of income. This was a frustrating aspect of the role in 2023.

Additionally, when I first started, I felt unsupported. My supervisor wasn't there with me in the beginning, and I was left to handle clients on my own. This was especially tough as I was very new to the role. The virtual supervision setup made it even harder—having to manage the camera positioning while following instructions through my earpiece, communicating with the client, and recording everything simultaneously felt too complex and overwhelming for someone just starting out.

While the experience helped me learn, the lack of proper initial support and the unpredictable nature of client cancellations made the job more challenging than it needed to be. It could definitely benefit from more structured training and clearer expectations for new hires.

IABAS For Families is an amazing company team to be a part of. It is ran by a BCBA and everyone I have worked with has a team mentality. I have been in the field for almost 6 years and the relief I felt working here leaves me speechless. The CEO and everyone work there hardest at communication. They are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. I am asked frequently how my employee experience can improve and the amount of mentorship is a blessing. I titled this review ABA Sanctuary because it is know of how unpleasant it can be working for other ABA companies and how they treat their staff. IABAS is so different in that you can feel and see the care everyone ,administrative and clinical staff are looked out for by the owner. Truly grateful to be part of this team. If you are looking for an ethical, professional and peaceful work environment, it’s here.

Working for IABAS for Families was great when I was originally hired. We were promised support from the CEO to carry on our daily tasks and it offered a high compensation in our area. As time went by, we began seeing red flags like the company paying their employees with gift cards for good reviews on platforms like Indeed. This company lacked support from BCBA’s to support our clients and technicians. The company was focused on micromanaging their employees but failed to provide quality clinical services. Around mid-June several regions received email notification of layoffs. The CEO of the company never provided clear explanations as of why those decisions were made and kept postponing meetings with future plans for the company. Transparency and empathy would’ve been much appreciated by employees left with little to no options after being laid off.  

Not only is this company a sinking ship, it is realistically already 75%  submerged. There is no leadership, no foundation, and no infrastructure.  I worked here for 7 months as a remote BCBA. During that time the company lost a major contract, underwent two mass layoffs, and shut down entire regions. With that being said, I never felt job security. I never felt like we found solid ground as a company. There was always constant and impulsive changes that made it so I could not clinically provide my best possible services to our clients or support those under me. Receiving 15 new clients in a single email without priming was normal here. The micromanagement was out of this world and like nothing I have ever experienced. To any BCBA thinking about working here because it is remote, I urge you to look elsewhere. Always be weary of a company that provides compensation for positive reviews.

I’ve been working here for a little over a year, not once have I had a complaint. I feel throughly supported by the my supervisor, BCBA and all the office staff. I am encouraged to grow and given the tools necessary to be a great BT. If a client last minute cancels IABAS offers online training to makeup for the time lost, this is something other companies don’t offer and something I appreciate greatly; that way I don’t lose the hours being offered. It’s difficult to get hours in the morning/early afternoon late afternoons when the kiddos are out is the time best suited for this job. You are required to have three afternoons available per week or two afternoons available and one during the weekend. 

A typical day looks like parent meetings in the morning, possibly some school observation, and indirect work until the afternoons when client's are off from school and available for sessions. Supervisors generally go into homes to supervise sessions with behavior technicians. However, when cases are not staffed, we as supervisors are required to hold 1 session a week minimum with those clients. Company is super supportive providing materials for clients as well as supervisors to best provide services to clients to met them where they are. 

Working at IABAS has showed me many areas of autism i had no knowledge on. Having a nephew who is autistic himself is the reason i chose aba. I had worked with another company before but never got anywhere. IABAS has provided great learning resources to make sure I feel confident when i walk into my sessions. My supervisors are amazing teachers in the field and provide constructive criticism that'll help you work best without the feeling that "you're doing it wrong" i don't always have work but I'm working towards my RBT which will allow me to expand further. All the staff has been great. All very supportive in every aspect. The clients are amazing kids who i miss when I'm not there. 

What I love most about IABAS for Families is that there has been a big sense of support behind everything we do. As a new company, we are constantly collaborating to create new and more efficient ways to do things and ideas are always heard and encouraged. The company culture supports work life balance and allows me to not feel wiped out and that I still have time for my family. I really enjoy knowing that I am helping a company grow and expand and that our work on the admin side of things is helping families in our community get the support they need.
