Verbal Beginnings reviews

Thank you for expressing your concern. The culture at Verbal Beginnings is built to help our clients make progress towards their individualized goals, and also to highlight the strengths of our amazing clinical staff and show appreciation to them. We’re sorry that did not come across in your experience! Some of the ways we do this include the performance-based bonus program that recognizes above-and-beyond work, promotion from within to build on the professional development of our staff, additional PTO for supervisory roles, and PTO plans that increase as you grow with the company. We also strive with all our power to offer a supportive environment including mentorship from Senior BCBAs, BCBA-Ds, and a 11-person administrative team to assist with operations. Pay rates are competitive within the market, and equitable between Field and Center staff. Based on feedback like this from our staff in weekly meetings, we have moved to a block-schedule that allow teams to have uninterrupted blocks of time together, to be used for meetings and work requiring total concentration. We hope that will help ease the burden of shuffling schedules for meetings, and give all of the teams more room to cohesively collaborate. Verbal Beginnings is a growing company, and we solicit feedback from our staff in regular check-ins to grow better and stronger, and minimize the “growing pains” that can sometimes come about. Clinical integrity and unmatched clinical programming is our top priority to ensure each child is carefully and individually cared for. This priority includes top training for our staff. Each child has a 1:1 Registered Behavior Technician who receives close mentorship and regular in-session supervision from the supervising BCBA. In addition to their Masters’ education and years of experience in the field, our BCBAs receive extensive on-going training and mentorship from Senior BCBA clinicians. To ensure the highest quality of care, we provide staff and families a top-tier support system, capped by 2 PhD BCBA-D/BCBA’s and co-CEOs who all maintain their credentials.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We build our teams from professionals eager to learn and improve their career long-term with Applied Behavior Analysis and demonstrate our core values of Inspiration, Dissemination, [Parent] Education, Collaboration, and Innovation. Our team structure allows for pay growth and bonuses over time, and we frequently re-assess our pay to make sure rates are competitive and reinforcing. We encourage you to discuss growth opportunities with your supervisor to earn promotions that unlock higher earning potential. If you are still unsatisfied with your compensation, we encourage you to come to our Human Resources department to discuss. Thank you for your dedication to your clients!
