Abusive Treatments - Autism Behavior Therapist Beacon ABA Services Employee Review

Autism behavior therapist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They have paid training for your certifications

Cons

Long hours with poor pay, no breaks including no lunch break (they expect you to take lunch when you’re driving between your clients houses), abhorrent “therapy” methods that are abusive and traumatizing for children, and not accommodating to people with disabilities or health problems. Definitely do not recommend.

Pros

Beacon took me in with no experience and taught me everything I know. I went through training from ABT to BT, CPR training through the company and even began the masters program to become a behavior analyst.

Cons

Employees don’t seem to last very long long

Beacon ABA Services Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re happy to hear that our Onboarding and Training program prepared you for your career in behavioral therapy. We look forward to watching your skills continue to grow as you pursue your master’s degree.

Pros

Thorough training & some extremely helpful supervisors and coworkers!

Cons

Lots of cancellations from families which is out of Beacons control & some lack of communication about scheduling and cases at times.

Beacon ABA Services Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for highlighting our training program and supportive team at Beacon. We’re glad to hear that the guidance from your supervisors and coworkers has been meaningful for you. We also appreciate your feedback regarding scheduling and communication. We recognize how challenging it can be for our staff when schedules shift unexpectedly due to family cancellations. While cancellations can unfortunately be a common occurrence for ABA providers, we do work closely with families to reduce disruptions and reschedule appointments whenever possible. Your comments are particularly helpful as we’re continually working to improve communication. We welcome the opportunity to talk through any concerns you may have offline and find the best ways to support you moving forward. If you’d like to talk more, we encourage you to connect with your supervisor or reach out directly to Paulo Guilhardi, Executive Vice President of Operations, at pguilhardi@beaconservices.org. Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for the important work you do every day.
