Great company to work for! - Avis employé RBT - Registered Behavior Technician Insight Behavior Partnership

Direct supervision 1-2x per week per client They want you to be the best you can be High expectations = you learn a lot and you can’t take the easy way out

It’s a lot of Hard work! Client Cancellations

This was a paid internship which was a plus

I was very confused by the structure of leadership or oversight, which seemed to switch rapidly between completely absent or micromanaging. New hires who don't have the proper training or certifications are left alone with clients who have severe behavior way too quickly for both client safety and staff safety. I had a client who confided in me that they were suicidal (while I was the only person at the office), and called for help and it was the most nonchalant "whatever" response I have ever seen. There was no risk assessment, crisis intervention, or safety planning at all. When I asked what their policy is regarding mandated reporting, I was told they don't have one. The way the situation was eventually handled damages trust with clients. I almost never saw my supervisor or had them present for sessions. I disagree with the way they apply ABA and found it to be extremely traumatic or created masking behaviors in individuals with autism.
