ACES works together as a team to see our clients and their families progress with skills and knowledge.
Pros
When I started at ACES in 2006, I felt SO supported! The supervisors were so helpful in teaching me new strategies and the other BI's were so willing to help out and offer suggestions when needed. As I grew with the company I realized it didn't stop there. I continuously learn from my supervisors and clinical directors! I have been so blessed working at ACES with their support, kind words, and friendship. I have been offered traveling opportunities that I may not have ever been able to do (Hawaii, Texas, and Washington to name a few). ACES has always supported me in furthering my education to remain in the field and be as knowledgeable as I can be to help our clients progression. I feel so thankful for ACES and I truly believe that is due to the clinical directors and their positivity to never settle for "just okay!" We make a difference in children and their families every day. What better career could there be? :)
Cons
I think anyone in this profession would agree that the hours can be the most challenging. Autism isn't only around from 8-3 or 9-5. It's non-stop. So we can see clients from the early morning til late at night. HOWEVER, I will say that there are days that really just make those early mornings and late nights COMPLETELY worth every minute.
