Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes reviews

You must maintain high energy, good boundaries, and efficient control over back-to-back fast-paced lessons. It's challenging and there has been a severe lack of support and behavior training. There are no additional pay raises for almost all of the additional programs clinicians are later taught: OCN (math), talkies (how to talk), LBA (academy core, ELA, science and social studies), or scoring (calculating official test results) on top of SI and VV (reading & comprehension). It's still $21 an hour as of 2023. Clinicians are basically "on call" during the whole morning/afternoon or both. They can't have a regular day off and it's hard to get approval to regularly arrive/leave at a different schedule. If you are scheduled off for an extra hour anywhere within the day, they can suddenly remove it without notice. You can't plan to keep long lunches, late arrives, or times you leave early because you could suddenly be scheduled. This happened quite often with days or even just minutes before I was scheduled to be off. I was informed by Amanda that if I want to ensure an hour off, I have to officially use my medical/vacation time, even if they already have me scheduled off for that hour.

Yet, the organization pays clinicians (who work directly with the children) 1/7th of what parents pay for services....organization designs clinician role to be transitional with high burnout...people who are who more experienced with the program are not working most directly with the children , and those working directly with the children are less valued by the organization. Clinicians may or may not even have college degrees or experience in education/you are not paid more if you have experience in this area...parents paying for the program are certainly not aware of this….401k and healthcare benefits are also not great. High pressure trickles down from corporate related to sales goals...even though the staff do care about the children and their educational goals...there was too much emphasis on selling the intervention to the parents, and honestly not enough effort into assuring the intervention is being delivered with high fidelity. What works most about the intervention is its time intensity, but after working with this organization, I would recommend other evidence based reading interventions. Although this program does see results, and I believe generally accomplishes good for its clients.
