Pros
I have been working for FSBA for 6 years (coming up in September) starting out as a Behavior Assistant/RBT back in 2016. FSBA has been with me through every step of the way, helping me rise to the top from a Behavior Assistant to a BCBA. Becoming a BCBA has always been a dream of mine since meeting my first autistic kiddo back in 2009 as a Mental Health Teacher/ Counselor at a School for the Deaf. At first, I thought going through graduate school and obtaining my BCBA certification would be unattainable with 2 young children (1 Autistic), but FSBA has helped me reach this dream and I will be forever grateful. As an independent contractor, I have a great work-mom-life balance as I am able to attend my children’s important meetings or rush them to the doctor when needed and run back to work because travel time for each client is no more than 20 minutes away from home. In terms of supervision, FSBA’s most intelligent and well-versed leadership staff provide monthly group supervision based on the BACB Task List. Not only that, CEUs are actually granted in-house for attending and participating in these monthly group supervision sessions and are held via Teams at the comfort of your home. FSBA also provides journal article reviews each month to keep the staff in the loop with current ABA research, which guide our behavior analytic techniques. My immediate supervisors have always been so supportive and respond to every question that I have on the spot via Teams outside of supervision time. FSBA values their employees and independent contractors, putting them first. FSBA’s leadership staff are caring and want you to succeed in your career. Not only that, FSBA’s administrative staff are always on top of keeping up to date with your file and document deadlines. I love the way the admin and billing staff work with the BCaBA and BCBAs as a team to execute documents needed for the client’s insurance during behavior plan submissions. FSBA leadership staff, supervisors, and coworkers are just the sweetest! It has been a pleasure watching the company grow and to have the opportunity to grow along with FSBA.
