Mosaic Pediatric Therapy

A typical day at work at Mosaic follows a consistent and predictable schedule, where I come in and leave at the same time each day. This fixed schedule gives me clarity on my hours and expectations. During my shifts, I typically work with 2-3 clients, providing direct 1:1 services. Each session lasts anywhere between 2 to 5 hours, depending on the needs of the client. This structure allows me to develop strong rapport with the clients while maintaining a steady flow of work throughout the day.

Through my time as a student working towards becoming a BCBA, Mosaic has provided me with an intensive apprenticeship that has allowed me to learn and grow in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). As an RBT, I receive weekly program management and supervision from my BCBA, who oversees my work with each client. The BCBA team is fantastic about using Behavior Skills Training (BST) to teach new protocols, and they ensure that I am fully prepared to implement any program changes before they go into effect. This hands-on approach has been invaluable in enhancing my skills and understanding of ABA.

The management at Mosaic has been very supportive, especially when I first started. They made sure to check in regularly, ensuring I was comfortable with my responsibilities and understood the expectations of the role. This ongoing support has helped me feel confident in my position and allowed me to focus on doing my best work with the clients.

The workplace culture is collaborative and supportive, with all the RBTs being incredibly helpful. I know that I can rely on my colleagues for assistance when needed, which creates a positive and encouraging work environment. It feels like a team effort, and everyone is committed to the success of the clients.

One of the hardest parts of the job can be facing difficult days with clients. Sometimes progress is slow, and some days are more challenging than others. However, these moments serve as valuable learning experiences and help me grow in my ability to handle a variety of situations. On the flip side, the most enjoyable part of the job is witnessing the clients make both small and long-term progress. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the impact of the work we do, knowing that we're helping our clients improve their skills and quality of life.

The culture at Mosaic is welcoming and embodies the Mosaic core values with regard to inclusion, stewardship, servant leadership, impact, and growth. The Mosaic community strives to make a difference in the lives of the clients we serve, and that motivates me each and every day. I know what to expect when I walk through the clinic doors each morning, and the routine highlights a work-life balance. The management is phenomenal and wholeheartedly trusts and believes in its technicians.

My day-to-day work includes administering direct therapy to clients and implementing behavior programs (developed by the BCBAs), running skill acquisition programs, navigating challenging behaviors, communicating with each client's team (other technicians and BCBAs), and collecting data. The support, patience, and passion are plentiful and are key in fueling the success of the clients. This creates for a rewarding career, even when unique challenges arise. My role as an RBT has helped me learn more about applied behavior analysis and has improved my skills in behavior management, therapeutic communication, and data collection and analysis. I have learned how to adapt to the needs of our clients in real time and have built therapeutic rapport with clients and their families. 

The people that I work with are truly incredible — from RBTs and BCBAs to clinical directors and other supervisors. The teamwork, dedication, and support to improving clients' lives create a motivating work environment. Management is supportive, responsive, and communicative. The clinical team works diligently to maintain quality care for clients; however, I wish the broad company structure could provide more resources or compensation to match the physical and emotional demands of the RBT job. The workplace culture is steeped in collaboration, continuous learning, and client progress, and while this is our goal for our clients, the occasional burnout staff may face can pop up and might be improved by way of additional benefits. 

The most difficult part of the job on a daily basis is managing high-intensity behaviors and maintaining emotional resilience in high-stress situations. However, being witness to our clients as they make meaningful and life-changing progress makes the job worthwhile, rewarding, and fulfilling beyond measure. Moments when a client echoes a new word, interacts more meaningfully with peers, or reduces challenging behaviors make this job impactful in ways that can never be measured.


As an employee at this company for the past three years working as a registered behavior technician I have never had any doubt that this company did not want me to stay. They have been so flexible with me while I have made three different clinic transitions, and every clinical director I have had and BCBA has been so supportive and encouraging. When I first started working at this company, I honestly had zero idea what I wanted for a future career, but now three years later I have taken a position as a behavior analyst and I would not wish to be at any other company! The time and effort this company has put into their student program for technicians goes to show how much they care about your growth. Obviously any job in the field of ABA takes immense patience, but knowing that there are so many people in my corner to succeed has never made me doubt this company, my foreseeable future with them, and my desire to continue growing professionally  alongside these amazing individuals. The best part about this job for me is the impact that I’ve made on so many children and their families. I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to do that as a technician for the past three years. I am also  so excited to be able to do that working as a behavior analyst in the next few weeks! I wouldn’t say that this job is hard if you are aware and have accepted that it takes a lot of patience to work with children in general regardless if they have a disability and you find it rewarding to make other people’s lives better regardless of the patience you need to have. As a technician who will be working directly with clients, you are repetitively doing targets in a client’s treatment plan throughout their session, but at the same time repetition is what makes progress so if you find a repetitive day to not be of interest to you and you are not patient than this job is probably not the right fit, but I would say most every job is repetitive, but the reward, at least to me is the most fulfilling. The company is very inclusive and is one of their core values that they definitely uphold. Neither myself or anyone I know at this company has ever not felt included and in life, we always want to feel included, and  Mosaic does a great job at making me feel needed and welcomed always. 

Mosaic operates with a strong values program that are openly shared often, with policies and programs that align with those values, ensuring work culture and work-life balance remain as priorities for their team members. Mosaic offers so many opportunities. I have not worked for a company that operates in line so well with the values they claim. They support team members educationally, financially, and professionally through multiple programs offered for advancement in many different aspects of applied behavior analysis, including leadership, research, training, and operations. I have been able to expand my resume and skill sets in many ways while working at Mosaic, including submitting a manuscript for publication, conducting applied research, increasing experience with presenting at conferences, and teaching others to do the same. 
Mosaic values high quality services and ensures employees have the joy of making a difference in their work! As a member of their training and compliance team of BCBA professionals, we have decades of experience in the field of ABA and get to provide consistent consult, support, and training to all levels of staff. 
Mosaic invests in the next generation of behavior analysts by offering a structured, comprehensive student program with paid apprentice hours, tuition discounts through university partnerships, compensated learning units with hands-on experience that truly prepare students in behavior analysis for a job as a BCBA, and comprehensive study support with a full study program, paid mock, reimbursement for all testing and application fees, and post-certification bonuses. Their pass rate for BCBA first-time testers in 2023 was 85%! (National average is 55%) I have had the privilege of seeing team members grow clinically, enroll in college and grad school when it wasn't possible before, and get to directly support team members in pursuit of their dreams with Mosaic.

Your day to day will depend entirely on what clinic you’re in. You could have a very supportive clinic director and engaged, helpful BCBAs, or you could have an unprofessional, unethical and vindictive clinic director and bare-minimum BCBAs. It just depends what clinic you’re in. 

YOU WILL NOT HAVE SICK DAYS. YOU WILL NOT HAVE PAID HOLIDAYS OR VACATION TIME AND YOU CANNOT TAKE UNPAID TIME OFF. Paid time off accrues about 2-3 hours every 2 weeks. You have to take a minimum of 8 hours PTO for one day off. Sick time must be taken as PTO. There are no paid holidays and you cannot take unpaid time off. Expect to have no vacations, no personal health days, and expect to come to work when you are sick, because PTO doesn’t accrue at the rate we get sick in this job. 

Regardless of what clinic you’re in, the company as a whole does not value its RBTs. Company policy says that schedule changes must be made 2 weeks in advance but this is almost never the case. Schedule changes will be made with little to no notice, and part time employees may be left completely off of the schedule with only a few days’ notice. This includes parents and caregivers. No thought is given to the needs of BTs and RBTs. 

Company policies are one thing, but actually receiving the benefits of those policies, actually seeing those policies implemented, is another thing.

Overall, Mosaic has prioritized company growth, expanding and opening new clinics, over providing quality services to clients and retaining experienced staff.

What is the best part of working at the company?
One of the most rewarding aspects of being an RBT is supporting children as they work toward and achieve their individualized goals. It is incredibly fulfilling to witness their progress, whether it involves developing communication skills, increasing independence, or successfully learning new behaviors. Being part of their growth and celebrating each milestone, makes this role both meaningful and impactful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One of the more challenging aspects of working as an RBT can be managing behaviors while ensuring that each child continues to receive support. The role requires patience, adaptability, and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. Balancing data collection, implementing behavior intervention plans with fidelity, and meeting the individual needs of each child can sometimes be demanding. However, these challenges also provide opportunities to grow professionally and strengthen problem-solving skills.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is clean, warm, and welcoming for both staff and clients. My coworkers are supportive and consistently willing to assist when needed, whether it is providing coverage for bathroom breaks or responding to behavioral support calls. This teamwork helps create a positive and collaborative atmosphere that allows everyone to better support the children we serve.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical schedule begins around 8:00 a.m., and I usually leave around 5:00 p.m. Throughout the day, I typically work with three clients, providing one-on-one support focused on their individualized goals. This allows me to give each client the attention and support needed to effectively implement their treatment plans and help them make meaningful progress.

Working at Mosaic Pediatric Therapy has honestly been one of the most rewarding  experiences I’ve had. My days are spent doing one-on-one therapy sessions with kids in an amazing clinic that has everything from classrooms and gyms to sensory rooms, art rooms, reading rooms, playrooms, and even a kitchen and bathroom for life skills practice. I mostly work with 5–6 year-olds, but our clinic serves kiddos from age 3 all the way through the teen years. No two sessions are ever the same, and I’ve learned how to switch things up on the fly to meet each child exactly where they are. Since starting here, I’ve really gotten to dive deep into Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), increase my data-tracking skills, and learned how to write detailed, accurate session notes. Mosaic set me up for success from day one. They gave me two weeks of paid training, are covering the cost of my RBT exam (which I’ve already scheduled!), and make sure I have access to mentorship and extra training whenever I want to grow my skills. As for as the toughest part, it can be helping a client work through challenging behaviors or feeling like you’re doing a good enough job when clients are not progressing. But the culture here helps those moments. My coworkers always step in with support, encouragement, and advice when I need it, and that makes even the hardest days manageable. The best part, however is definitely watching my clients grow. Whether it’s learning a brand new skill, hitting a goal, or connecting with them so that they feel safe and comfortable during our sessions. 
Another great part about working here is the community. Staff and clients celebrate each other’s wins big or small, and it creates this environment that feels more like a family than just a job. Everyone’s invested in making a positive impact, and it’s amazing to be a part of that.

I work at Mosaic as a BCBA, and of the companies I have previous worked I do believe Mosaic is a tier above most other providers. First and foremost, they adjust and update the structure of company benefits on what seems like an annual basis and do a good job communicating changes. The changes also seem very grounded in an effort to provide a better work experience for employees and improve services for clients. Recent changes include examples such as updates in RBT pay every 6 months, professional development paths for BCBAs (leadership, training, research), updates to full time benefits to improve coverage and options, and increases in professional development reimbursement for BCBAs. They also do a fantastic job providing in-house CEU opportunities. I also really appreciate that BCBAs are supported when, for whatever reason, a client cannot make recommended hours either by choice or circumstances. At other companies this can lead to situations where client's do not make any progress but you are asked to simply make changes within the confines given to you rather than transferring them to other providers. At Mosaic, that family may not be a great fit for the service model and will be referred to other providers, which ensures that we provide and maintain appropriate service hours. Finally, they do a good job balancing a caseload without a billable minimum and are open to feedback on if something is too difficult. This method also allows for new BCBAs to provide more supervision (as they build supervision experience and confidence) so the caseload makeup will be different depending on your experience. 

During my time here I learned a great deal from many amazing BCBAs. Unfortunately employee retention is very low at the specific clinic I worked under and I saw those BCBAs leave constantly. At one point I had a kiddo that I worked with for a year and that same kiddo had 5 different BCBAs which did not help the growth for the child. With that said RBT turn over rate is just as high. 
Administrative help is needed or an assistant. They haven't seemed to be able to keep someone long for scheduling.

If there was more genuine care of employee needs involving scheduling, Notification of schedule changes, drive distance, emotional support, comfort with clients/behaviors, and morale as well as competitive pay then they would see better retention. Everyone is held to a high standard in a company with such potential yet it does not show with compensation and understanding. You have some therapists begging for more hours and others asking for less yet we're told they've done all they can scheduling wise...
Consistency dedicated to employee needs would be good here. Especially as they add new changes affecting policies or schedules.

Overall I learned a lot professionally, I grew a lot as well and I am aware more than ever of my needs, worth and abilities as an RBT. 

Great place to start out if you are new to the field.

Working at this clinic has been a deeply frustrating experience due to the blatant favoritism displayed by management. Policies are inconsistently enforced, and certain RBTs receive preferential treatment. Instead of implementing clear and fair changes for all staff, management enforces rules selectively depending on the day, creating a toxic work environment.

One of the most alarming issues is the disregard for client policies. Clients are forced to stay at the clinic even when they are sick (fever, vomiting) just to ensure payment is received for that day. This is unethical and compromises both client and staff well-being. Many RBT's at this clinic witness this daily and have to look the other way. Additionally, an RBT has been allowed to view inappropriate things in the same room as the clients, which was reported to management but remains ignored and ongoing. This is completely unacceptable.

The work environment itself is highly unsupportive. RBTs experience excessive criticism with little to no positive reinforcement, leading to burnout and low morale. There is no consistency in work hours or workload distribution, further adding to the stress. Management seems more focused on hiring new staff rather than supporting and retaining the employees who are already there, making experienced staff feel undervalued and overlooked. The high turnover rate speaks volumes about the poor leadership and unfair treatment.

Overall, management’s failure to apply policies equally, provide adequate support, and address serious ethical concerns has created a negative and unsustainable workplace. Until significant changes are made, I cannot recommend this clinic as a healthy or professional place to work.
