Pros
Worked in a center location, the program supervisors, the clinic supervisors, the lead therapists were all wonderful to work with, they cared about each child and saw the potential in each. You get to work with a large variety of children and see children all over the spectrum. Seeing children achieve things their parents never thought possible is really neat. Good stepping stone in the human service field.
Cons
It is a high burn out field so some staff do come and go which can be hard on staff morale, but the good ones stay. Kids do have behaviors, you can get hit/bit/have to change children. Which should be expected as a therapist but some seem to struggle with this. There is a large learning curve, it isn't a job you will understand overnight.
