Like others have stated, watch out for positive reviews because they offered incentives for leaving positive reviews on websites for their company.

When I first started, I was impressed by the level of pay and swiftness of certification. That's probably the only positives I can think of. I appreciated how quick I got certified, it was within a few months, and I appreciated the pay and chance of getting raises. 

Starting out on the floor, I had minimal training. Having never previously worked in ABA, I had no clue what I was doing - they kind of just throw you into the wolves. And when you ask for support, they reiterate that they will 'meet you in the middle' and they will 'see what they can do', but chances are, nothing ever happens. 

The schedule, to put it lightly, is a mess always. Before you're certified, you usually have specific kids that you're assigned to because they don't need a certified biller, but after you're certified, they put you on multiple kids per day with zero training and no guidance. They expect you to go into it and apply what you've learned despite every kid being completely different than the next. 

Management, is the reason most people no longer work here, if it's not the schedule. They also offer you to sign a waiver that, at the time, sounds like not such a bad idea, but basically, you have to "buy" your two weeks of PTO in advance and if you leave before the new year, you have to pay them all that you've used. Very annoying, in my opinion, because people who want to leave feel like they can't because they're worried about losing an entire check to the company for something they rightfully deserve with no backlash.

The hardest part of the job is pushing through every day knowing what you're going to endure. You wake up with the anxiety of not knowing if you're going to be put on a kid you've never been on before or if you're going to be put on a client you've been with for months. After you get the schedule, you won't get support if you're on a client you've never been on, but you're expected to follow their plan and understand them thoroughly. They do train you on the safety procedures to combat this, but there's a high chance you will also get bit, scratched, smacked, and kicked depending on the client. 

Workplace culture is okay. I made a handful of close friends there, but there is drama too. People love talking about other coworkers, and for some reason, this company likes to keep the ones that do and overwork the ones that don't. 

By far my most enjoyable part of the job, and a massive reason a lot of people have stayed for years, is the clients. When staffing isn't lacking and you're on your master client(s) for months, you grow close to them. Seeing them grow and accomplish goals with you is a major reason I loved it so much. Most of the time, you don't want to leave the job because of them. 

All in all, I admire the SERVE mission that KCT follows, that's what draws everyone in. They tell you they're here to serve the kids and follow their lead, and for the most part, that's what they did. Until they partnered with the company they're partnered with. After they partnered, they began to treat the employees like dogs, overworking them. Even when they have doctor's notes to state that they can't be on specific kids, even when they're pregnant, and even when they have medical conditions they're getting diagnosed. It's not just the employees that management disrespects, it's the kids too. When the kids have any illness, whether contagious, lethargic, or running a fever lower than 102, they will still keep the kids to put money in their pocket which in turn, causes everyone - employees included - to pass around sicknesses all season long. 

I, personally, admire the mission and I admire what the owners were going for. I respect their intentions and I understand running a business is difficult. I've worked for large corporations and I've worked for small businesses. The neglection at the Crawfordsville location and the disrespect I've endured but also seen given to the BCBAs and fellow RBTs and BTs causes me to label this company as one of the worst I've worked for. I encourage anyone who is applying to understand what you're getting yourself into. Thank you for reading.

Working at KCT has changed a lot in the time I have worked here.  When I started we used now archaic practices that are know to cause emotional, psychological, & neurological harm to individuals.  At the time we didn’t know those things; however, as soon as we did we changed our path for the better.  
We now follow Today’s ABA, which focuses on a televisable & compassionate practice where children’s voices are heard about their treatment.  KCT has poured a lot of time and effort into training & disseminating Today’s ABA across our ABA clinics.  The owners have worked together to continue bringing Today’ABA & compassionate care across ABA centers.  It’s been amazing work.  
It is hard work that we do.  It can be emotionally taxing when you are passionate about an individuals progress.  The work we do is important.  Early intervention gives many kids opportunities they or their family didn’t have before.  It gives families a sense of community & allows them to learn new skills to increase their quality of life while allowing them to maintain their individuality.  
Lots has changed in the field in the last 8 years, I’m thrilled to be with a company who moved in a positive direction of the science.  
When decisions are made the culture & SERVE mission are at the forefront of those discussions.  SERVE stands for: selflessness, empathy, resource, value, & encouragement.  These five pillars are the foundation of KCT & guide decision making for leaders at all levels.  
The thing I love most about what I get to do as a behavior analyst is sharing in client wins.  Every little step toward their goals is progress & should be celebrated.  
The hardest part the maintaining your self care in a helping career.  It’s imperative that you have strong sense of self to determine your self care needs & maintain a positive mental attitude.  The clients we serve may present with challenging problem behaviors such as: scratching, hitting, slapping, spitting on people, hair pulling, biting, running away, dropping, screaming, etc.  To support deescalation, individuals working with them (RBTs, BCaBA, BCBAs) must remain calm & deescalated themselves.  This can be really challenging in those moments but the end goal of reducing those behaviors & teaching safe alternatives truly does outweigh those challenging moments.  

I found myself at a monumental crossroads regarding my career path, and I was nearly at a loss for what to do. Then, I found K1ds Count, and I have never felt more at home in a career than I have here. The values-driven mission of K1ds Count to comprehensively serve the children of west central Indiana with the utmost integrity and respect for individual needs of each family is unparalleled. The mission permeates the culture and creates a work environment in which team members feel welcome, valued, and made to feel the impact they make on the communities they serve. Not only does K1ds Count strive to make significant impacts in the lives of its clientele, but the attention paid to the personal and professional growth and development of each team member is undeniable. As a team member at K1ds Count, if one has a desire to do and become more, the opportunity to develop is as easy as asking for it. K1ds Count takes care of its people in so many more ways than compensation and benefits. The culture of mutual care and respect makes the label of "work family" much more than a facade. I am a part of K1ds Count, and it is a part of me. I am certain other organizations have an equally significant impact on the employment experiences shared by their staff, but I can honestly say I have not experienced the caliber of maturity, cooperation, sincerity, and genuine care for individuals at any place prior to my experience at K1ds Count. As cynical as it may sound, I believe it to be rare for employees to offer unabashedly authentic "thank yous" to the leadership at their places of employment. That being said, I do and will continue to show my gratitude to K1ds Count for the opportunity to play even the smallest of parts in the mission to serve together. Frank and Lindsay recognize abilities and push the team to acknowledge their own strengths. I have developed a more realistic perspective of my own worth, completely detached from my salary. I feel good about me and the impact I am able to make in the lives of others in my community, and K1ds Count has cultivated that with sincere care and commitment to me as an asset to our greater team and vision.

I am full time and my hours vary (7:45am/8:00am to 4:00pm/4:30pm) every weekday. K1ds Count Therapy does a great job with accommodating their therapists. For example, if you are only scheduled for 36 hours one week and would like to be closer to 40, then they will try to adjust your schedule to reflect that. They are very understanding and are willing to work with you. 

A typical day at K1ds Count Therapy may include: circle time/group time (book, craft, sensory, social play), gym time (structure gym and free gym), lunch, individual programming, Speech/Occupational Therapy/ Physical Therapy, Food Group/Music Therapy/Lamp Group, Playground time, and much more!

When I first started working at K1ds Count Therapy, I knew nothing about ABA. Management, BCBAs, and other RBTs did a fantastic job modeling and teaching me everything that I needed to know to become a successful RBT. Without their guidance, I wouldn't be in the position that I am currently in right now. I never dreamed that I would be able to grow within the company without going back to school; Lindsay and Frank understood that for many people that isn't an option, so they created another route. Kids Count Therapy is always evolving to better themselves not only for the kiddos but also its employees!

I would be lying if I said this job didn't have a single hard part. It can be exhausting (mentally and physically), but the company does a great job with constantly checking in with its employees. They want to make sure you feel heard and valued.

The best part of my job is knowing that I play a role in these kiddos lives. Sometimes, it's hard to see the progress that is made because we work so close with the child, but when you have parents thanking you for helping their child reach a milestone it's rewarding!

A typical day goes by fast. I see multiple clients that I enjoy and use my talents to connect with and make a difference in their lives. 

I learned how to use Applied Behavior Analysis techniques initially through 40 hours of online training and orientation. My education didn't stop there. It continues to grow stronger because the BCBA's, a client's program manager, are accessible to provide it.

In the day to day I feel like my own manager. There are targets I must reach with each client and I use these to measure my performance. There are days when my performance fluctuates, I have come to learn this is human. This is not a reflection on standards, it says more about how BCBA's meet me where I am and support me along the way.

This creates a safe working environment. In the event I make a mistake or do not have the knowledge for a particular task, I know I can ask for help. All the way to the top, the owners are extremely employee centered.

The hardest part about being an RBT is finding the balance between being a professional who is teaching a client and being a mother. I am patient by nature. In the event my patience is activated, I take that space of time and check the Behavior Intervention Plan designed by the BCBA. This BIP helps me guide and connect with the client. There isn't a BIP for my child, I go with my instincts!

It's connection and guidance that produces results and success. Kids Count Therapy provides this for me which in turn allows me to provide for clients.

KCT is filled with awesome employees and management! I am consistently shown that I am appreciated and supported. Everyone is a team player there and we all help each other when we can. I had no experience in the field prior to this job and am so glad I pushed myself to work here because the staff makes sure you feel comfortable at all times and helps show you the ropes. You're allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. You're also encouraged to ask for assistance! Every day brings new challenges, however I always feel appropriately supported. Any concerns I've ever addressed have been discussed and dealt with properly and immediately. I'd also like to mention that during this quarantine, the team has been absolutely amazing and understanding. They personally reach out and make sure all of us are still receiving income, offering groceries and gift cards, and staying in contact with all employees for frequent updates! I truly appreciate all they have done to show how much they care for clients and employees alike.

Kids Count Therapy is a rewarding place to work. It is a unique large group practice that offers collaboration within and across health care disciplines. It's a well-respected service provider just outside the Indy metro area. The owners and managers walk the talk of their values. They provide excellent services to families while minimizing barriers. Company specific events are fun, offer self-care, and boost morale. Community events are fun and meaningful to families. The workplace culture strongly values transparency, honesty, and working to solve conflicts for the best of client care.  The owners and managers are young and look for creativity, innovation, and self-driven employees. The hardest part of the job is sharing space in busy clinics, so you need to be flexible and value team-work. The best parts of the job are having your employee voice be heard, responsiveness from leaders, fun with children, and gratitude from families served.

I wake up everyday excited to go to work at K1ds Count Therapy! I work with an amazing group of people who strive to provide quality programming and services to each client, as well as maintain a positive and fun workplace culture.

But like I said before, I wake up the next day ready and eager to go to work! I am fully supported by the entire K1ds Count Therapy team and I love that I learn something new everyday! It is the most amazing feeling to see the happy tears and smiles of a parent when you tell them that their child said their first word or accomplished a new skill. It is the most rewarding job, and K1ds Count Therapy is the most supportive company!
