Autism Spectrum Therapies reviews

I've been with AST for over 5 years. This company has provided me with superior training and opportunities to move forward into advancing job positions. I started with the company as a Behavior Interventionist, and over the years earned my MA and attained my BCBA, and have been a program supervisor for the past 2.5 years. I have a huge sense of loyalty to AST because I feel they have always taken good care of me, and I feel the owners of the company truly care about enriching the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum. The salaries are better than any other agency I've seen, and I love having a company structure with so many Ph.D's and other individuals rich with experience to turn to whenever I have a new situation come up that I may not have a solution for. One aspect I am most proud of in working with AST is the fact that we only use methods and procedures that are empirically validated. Our work is based on a hard science, and isn't caught up with all the trends and quick fix tricks to "cure" autism.

I have worked for this agency for two years now, and couldn't be happier with my experience. I have been given the opportunity to grow both professionally and as an individual, and even in my short time (compared to others) I have seen this company excel and change in the best of ways. 1)The company as a whole truly cares about their staff and even if they can't fix a particular kink or problem immediately, that doesn't mean that they aren't doing everything in their power to fix it as soon as possible. Feedback is extremely welcomed and considered, and management continuously strives to please their staff as much as possible with what they have control over. 2)There has been huge room for growth within this company, and I have been given the opportunity for promotion even in just two years. The company recognizes hard workers and does everything they can to keep them on staff and does their very best to support those in transition as much as possible. 3) The culture of this agency is unlike any other that I have ever experienced in that they strive for integrity in every area of the company - this includes the Executive team, office staff, and staff in the field. The agency has adopted the model of acting on what they say they will do, and it has greatly improved an already outstanding company. 4) The heart of the people in the offices and the field is unmatchable - there is a deep family feel amidst the deep professionalism, and coworkers truly care about one another and supporting each other however possible. Every day I feel that I am working for a company that produces so much good - both to the children that receive our services and their parents/familys. The knowledge of this is something that I can't put a price on - the stories are amazing and keep me going every day. AST makes a huge, positive, difference in the lives of our familys as well as in the field of autism and that to me is invaluable.
