Great Experience - Speech Pathologist Clinical Fellow The Perfect Playground Employee Review

I had applied for my first agency job a day before COVID broke out. I was not supported as much as I would've liked as an entry-level therapist, let alone an entry-level therapist during a pandemic. Due to this I had my reservations when looking for a new agency job, but I went out on a whim and hesitantly applied to the Perfect Playground. Patrick and Michele were super responsive and helpful during the interview process. I was placed at a school within 20-30 minutes of my house, which was great. I was placed under the supervision of Todd, who was a great supervisor and accompanied me on my first day to the school. We held weekly checkins to make sure my notes, IEPs, goals, billing, schedule, and everything in between were up to par. Everyone was extremely responsive to emails, sometimes even hopping on calls to support me after work hours. I couldn't have asked for a better company to mold me into a better therapist.

Not getting paid for absent kids (which you can still work around by seeing them another day) and not getting paid for half-days/breaks/missed days.

Very helpful staff and great communication with the operations team! Have a supervisor which is great support. Money for travel! Operations team always has check ins and provides assistance when needed.

Fee-for-service, you are only paid when you see a student (or group of students) during 30 minute sessions) so two sessions is one hour of paid work. Unfortunately, when a student is absent you cannot get paid. There is no payment for documentation or IEP meetings (depends on the school if they require your attendance). Sign on bonus is over time not all at once.
