Pros

Good experience, decent starting pay for the field, great graduate education opportunities

Cons

Unsteady hours as you'll probably start off with a floater schedule on your unit. High-strung staff and supervisors that care more about their reputation than the kids. They don't respect innovation at all and expect you to follow student guidelines precisely whether they're effective or not

Thanks for leaving a review! A big part of our mission is to help aspiring teachers and behavior analysts get the training and advanced education they need to help as many children with autism as possible. Thank you for taking advantage of our free graduate school and we wish you the best as you contribute your talents to a new community that needs people like you!

Pros

The kids are the best part. It's good for those who have little to no experience. They pay for a masters degree.

Cons

Lead Teachers have no training in managing people. The lead teacher sits at the desk all day on their phone, eating and micromanaging. It's not really a school schedule. You must be present for 8 hours even if the kids are not there, and you have no other work to do. You get only 2 random weeks off in the summer. The pay is not worth it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are grateful for the direct care staff who work with our students every day to bring out their potential. Our lead teachers have many administrative responsibilities, working with each student's team of clinicians, parents, and liaisons that may not be visible to other staff. However, if you have performance concerns about your lead teacher, please share it with your clinical supervisor. Thank you for all you do!
