Pros

Co workers are amazing people to work with such as the other behavior therapist! Love the coworkers they are so kind and dedicated! Great families to work with in the field.

Cons

This company is extremely unethically with behavior programs. Supervisors come out only once every three or four months which causes their employees who are not certified with a BCBA to run and move along programs! This is not how to run behavior programs. This company teaches their employees to make the children prompt dependent and to have parents rely on the behavior therapist and supervisors "to fix" their child. (The company comes off to families as if they can "cure" and "fix" their child which is shameful for the director to allow this type of image) They only focus on having the children work on worksheets to help with their academic goals. They even put in Speech and Occupational therapy programs which is also unethical since there is not one single person in that company is qualify to implement such as programs because they do not have certification in that field. They do not have parent training and the employees and supervisors do not help provide or teach parents strategies. This company is not a model place if you trying to move up in the field. This company have malpractice constantly and find excuses to justify it. They misuse hours for 1:1 and use parent training hours for report writing or for 1:1. It is unbelievable what they do just so they can stay around to take advantage of these families. I am always surprise this company lasted for so long. They treat their families like money bags and over work their employees with little pay and vacation time.

Hi, thank you for your review. I apologize that you did not have a positive experience at Creative Solutions for Hope. Our Supervisors/BCBA's are always available by phone if a therapist needs them. Additionally, they do provide trainings and overlap for Behavior Therapists that need extra support. Regarding practices, all of our Occupational Therapists and Speech Therapists are certified. Our Entry-Level Behavior therapists do not need a degree, but in order to move up in the field and become a BCBA, you do need a Master's and a certification. We do parent training as well. We want to do our best as a company for the children. Please email us with any concerns at info@cs4hope.com. Thank you.

Pros

- Great management! They are very supportive when you are not feeling well or are having a hard time with clients! - It is pretty easy to move up in the career ladder as long as you are dedicated. The BCBAs are willing to help out!

Cons

- Reroutes do get difficult sometimes. When your client cancels, there may be a chance you do not earn hours since you may not get reroutes.

Pros

Higher wages than most other ABA companies.

Cons

Ridiculously large caseloads. They hired basically anyone and then didn’t adequately train them. This led to really poor BT performance. HR was very unprofessional and made people constantly scared for their jobs. There was really only one BCBA who would come up occasionally for supervision (she was great) but otherwise there weren’t any competent BCBAs providing supervision. The turnover at the company was worse than others, which is saying something.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We do want to address a number of statements in this review, as they don’t accurately reflect how our organization operates or what most of our team experiences. Caseloads are not ridiculously large as described. They are intentionally built to support our Case Managers in maintaining full-time schedules. We take factors such as cancellations and client availability into account to ensure staff have consistent hours to pull from. Caseloads are also reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed to support our team while maintaining a high standard of care for our clients. In the same way, the comment about training is not consistent with our process. Behavior Technicians go through structured onboarding and receive ongoing support and supervision to help them succeed in their roles. The claim that there was only one BCBA providing supervision is also not accurate. We have multiple qualified BCBAs who are actively involved in supervision, case oversight, and supporting staff on a regular basis. We also take pride in maintaining a professional and supportive workplace. The characterization of HR as unprofessional or creating fear does not reflect our approach. Our goal is always to communicate clearly, support employees, and create a stable work environment. Regarding hiring and turnover, we maintain hiring standards and work hard to build and retain a strong team. While turnover can happen in this field, the way it’s described here is not representative of our overall organization. Finally, our expansion into the Bay Area was driven by the need for services, not for the reasons suggested in this review. We expanded thoughtfully and have continued investing in the people and structure needed to support both our staff and the families we serve. We understand that not every individual experience is the same, but it’s important to clarify that several of the points raised here are not an accurate portrayal of our company. We remain focused on continuous improvement and providing a positive environment for both employees and clients.
