Ladder-of-Success-Aba

Ladder of Success is one of the best ABA companies I’ve worked for. The company is organized, and the clinical team culture among therapists is strong. RBTs and BCBAs are hard working,  support one another, and demonstrate genuine dedication to the children they serve. Client care is clearly a priority for many staff members, and the overall therapist culture is positive and collaborative.

However, there are concerns with upper management and clinical leadership. At times, there is micromanaging in areas that do not feel clinically meaningful, and communication from leadership can feel unprofessional or contribute to tension in the workplace. I personally observed instances where communication and behavior from leadership contributed to a more negative, high-school-like work environment, including inappropriate discussion of staff personal matters.

There are also concerns with clinical leadership support. At times, responsibilities were delegated to staff under the expectation of promoting independence, but it often felt more like a lack of follow-through or adequate clinical support from leadership. This left some staff feeling overextended, especially newer therapists who needed more guidance and structure.

Additionally, turnover among both RBTs and BCBAs appears to be high, which seems related to burnout and inconsistent support. When staff were surveyed about workplace concerns, many responses addressed issues such as workplace tension, management-related stress, and burnout. However, the main changes that were implemented focused more on surface-level improvements such as updating the break room, providing snacks, and an attendance system that was not consistently functional. As a result, core concerns contributing to burnout did not feel fully addressed.

Overall, I did enjoy working with the clinical team and still consider this one of the better ABA companies I’ve worked for, but there are clear areas where leadership and workplace support could be improved.

While  Ladder of Success ABA is a new company in Colorado, the company is established on a great foundation in clinical quality. I was initially concerned about transitioning to a start-up ABA company, but after meeting with the founders, I was wowed by how much company emphasis was put on providing high-quality clinical care. They weren't concerned with opening a ton of locations and didn't talk about adding a ton of clients to start, but instead spoke about providing families with great support, offering different types of ABA programs to fit the needs of each client, and building an ABA company that highlights positive company culture. As the Clinical Director, I've felt heard and appreciated in all things clinical, including what is important for our technicians. What's been most important is the emphasis on having fun! It's a tough job, and working at a company focused on promoting fun and engaging services is where I want to be! 

Being part of the team at Ladder of Success ABA has been a truly positive experience. The organization is filled with dedicated, knowledgeable therapists and leadership who genuinely put their employees, clients and families first. There’s a clear commitment to best practices, community support, and creating meaningful progress in a way that is fun and engaging.

The culture is uplifting and collaborative, and you can feel that everyone cares about the work they do. Leadership is supportive, approachable, and sets a tone of integrity and compassion that carries through the entire team. It’s a place where people are valued and where quality and heart go hand in hand.

I’m grateful to work with a company that puts excellence at the forefront, offering a wonderful center, high-quality ABA services, a positive and supportive culture, and a genuine commitment to families and the community.

We provide ongoing high supervision, training and support to further professional development. We are a BACB Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) Provider. New and existing team members receive mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals to enhance their skills and confidence. Continuous education and training opportunities are provided to keep our team updated on best practices and new developments in ABA therapy. Our team’s satisfaction is prioritized through ongoing professional development, recognition programs, and a supportive work environment.

This ABA company actually does what they say for a change. From the interview to when I started, the caseload, hours, schedule, training and support were consistent. They were willing to be flexible with my schedule to meet my personal needs. The center has a great layout and outdoor space with a strong and large clinical BCBA team. BCBAs provide a high level of in person supervision. Other RBTs here are also great. Managment also listens and acts on our feedback. We can contact HR anytime or fill out their Anonymous Recommendation Form. One warning is that if you are not passionate to work with kids with autism, this job is not for you.   

Ladder of Success ABA leadership truly cares. After being in the field for 15 years, I knew I could not go back to a company that did not prioritize their clients and employee’s. In my eyes, some of the key components of successful behavior therapy are engagement, progress, compassion, individualization and generalization. When I met the CEO of Ladder of Success ABA and his vision lined up with so many of my own, I knew I needed to be a part of it. The process has been tedious to ensure we build a team that all believes in individualized, fun and compassionate care. 
We are excited to bring Ladder of Success ABA to our community and really take the time to get to know our families and provide a fun and secure environment for both our clients and employees. 


You can tell that the company cares very much about their clients. Supervision was decent, although often I felt micromanaged. With that being said, I really wish they were transparent about hours, during the interview process. What made the job difficult for me, was the inconsistent hours. One week I would work eight hours, the next twenty. This was surprising to me, considering when I was hired, they told me I would get 30 plus hours.   If a client canceled sometimes you would be offered admin, but most of the time this was not an option. Culture wise, going into the company, I did not feel welcomed. The only enjoyable part  of the job, was seeing the clients progress. 

Working at Ladder of Success ABA as the Marketing Coordinator was an incredibly rewarding experience. The leadership team truly values each employee's contributions and fosters an environment of collaboration and growth. They are passionate about their mission to support children and families, and this commitment is reflected in every aspect of the organization.

LOS has been great. My teammates are great, supervisors are great really happy to finally find  a home in ABA. The center is so clean (they have cleaners so we dont have to do much of that). Pay and PTO is solid. They do expect FT availability but if your good to the schedule you'll get full hours. Treat everyone with respect and it really comes back. Great place to come to work each day. 

Overall, I enjoyed working here. The environment was clean, and the support from fellow RBTs and BCBAs was excellent. Unfortunately, the clinical director created daily stress through passive aggressive interactions, judgmental “pop quizzes,” and a lack of genuine support. The owners who are based out of state, seem unaware of these issues. Without this management challenge, I would have stayed long term.
