Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes reviews

As it stands now, Lindamood-Bell expects clinicians to essentially perform the same functions as a special education teacher (especially if they work with Academy students) for not much more than minimum wage. Clinicians making $15-$18 an hour, depending on their location, are expected to take detailed instruction notes and entertain children while making sure they get through an absurd number of activities in very short windows of time. You have to keep them on task and positively affirm them, even if their behavior is insulting and rude. Management will tell you that you can always come to them if you are having problems with a particular student, but they will waste no time removing that student from your schedule, most likely cutting your hours in the process. Centers seem to be encouraged to take on as many students as they can so corporate management can fund their planned global expansion (I'm not kidding. There are now centers in Singapore and Australia, with more promised). This, of course, results in the company accepting students with severe behavioral issues that their programs cannot fix, at least without behavioral intervention first. I got the impression multiple times during training that some in the company believe diagnoses like dyslexia and autism were not due to any cognitive or neurological differences, but because of a weakness in "concept imagery" or "symbol imagery," their branded terminology. I saw this firsthand in my center this past summer. A student with an autism diagnosis struggled to process basic questions she was asked in session. Center management kept attributing this to a weakness in her "concept imagery" instead of working within the parameters of her diagnosis, which made it difficult for her to concentrate and to understand what she was being asked.

Everything else. Lindamood-Bell has created unbelievable programs that have the opportunity to help SO MANY. But instead, they only want to help the people that are willing to take out a second mortgage on their home, or take away from a child's college fund. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO HELP SO MANY AND YET YOU DON'T! It makes me so sad to see. You treat your employees terribly. You don't communicate, people get promotions based on who they know and not the content of their work. Praise your employees when they do good - like you tell them to do with your students. The pay has not been raised for clinicians and consultants in ALMOST 20 YEARS. HOW?!?! These people work so hard and pour their hearts into what they do - and should be compensated for this. All your good employees leave and go and do similar work privately, when will you learn? All the parents reach out to all the employees BEGGING them to do private work. EVERYONE SEES WHAT IS GOING ON. Do good. Open your eyes and see that you have access to help so many, and smart, hardworking people will want to STAY with the company and HELP if you treated them they way they should!
