Pros

The only pro is helping the children to achieve a better quality of life, which can me rewarding.😊

Cons

* Management standing up for the leads, not matter if they're right or wrong. * People like to snitch, so be careful and trust Nobody! * "1" half hour break ALL day, which is unpaid. 😟 * Lots of "mandatory" meetings with little notice * Very clicky, reminds me of high school 😝 * Children bolt, flop, bite, poop their pants and have behaviors 😬 * You're with your child "all" the time! If you need a bathroom break, you must find a therapist that is willing to watch your kid. At times, I've asked 3 therapists, and nobody would watch my child. * Very challenging and tiring to get children who are non verbal to do their programs. It's usually due to a behavior, or they just don't want to do it, which is mentally waring on the therapists. * Physically exhausting having to chase a kid down the hall, or trying to pick one up off the floor when they flop down. Also, having a kid kick or bite you is a 'stress' all on its own. 😖
