Pros

Lindamood-Bell has some of the best programs for teaching reading and reading comprehension to students with learning disabilities. Being trained by Lindamood-Bell will give you better teaching skills in these areas than most credentialed special education teacher. The staff is made up intelligent people who are a pleasure to work with. Consultants test and track the student, and give you specific instructions, which change as the student progresses. This could be a good fit for a young person who lives at home. Those who express an interest can move up the ladder to higher level jobs.

Cons

Lindamood-Bell does not value employees. The company has a product (its programs) and staff is there simply to deliver the product. Employees are as replaceable as the cogs and wheels of a machine. A part-time employee has no guaranteed hours-- you may work 8 hours a day one week and three hours a day the next. You're given your schedule for the coming week on Friday, with the caveat that it could change at any time-- so Its hard to make plans even for your "free time." However, you must request time off two weeks in advance, and your request can be denied. Time off during the summer is not an option, and if you want time off at Christmas, you need to request in months in advance. The centers are open for business on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and wanting family time is not a good enough reason to ask for those days off. Finally, the pay is abysmal--$20.00 an hour. The needs of Lindamood-Bell are paramont-- your needs are unimportant.

Pros

It’s great to try to help people, but…

Cons

They’re so set on their particular philosophical style, but realistically, it cannot be one size fits all. Clinicians who work there are NOT experts; they only get two weeks of training. And the sessions are extremely tight, with back-to-back students (just five minutes between each, leaving no time to prepare for the next one and no chance for clinicians to catch a breath). Lessons take place in cramped, mostly shared spaces, so everyone tends to be over-stressed. There’s no way that what is taught there, and the environment in which it’s taught, is worth what they’re charging families. Not to mention that the staff break room is like the size of a closet, and even in that tight space, many people just aren’t very friendly and hardly acknowledge your presence.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. We appreciate that our mission of helping students reach their learning potential resonated with you. At the same time, we are disappointed to read your comments regarding training, scheduling, and your experience with our instructional model. Our initial training is designed to prepare clinicians to begin working one-to-one with students using our unique approach. That training continues through ongoing mentoring and instructional guidance from experienced staff members who oversee lesson planning, monitor student progress, and support instructional quality. This team-based model is central to our instructional approach and to supporting student outcomes. We regret that the purpose and value of this model were not evident during your employment. We also recognize that learning center work can be demanding, particularly during busy periods, and we appreciate your perspective regarding scheduling and the work environment. Feedback such as yours is valuable as we continue working to improve communication and the overall staff experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
