Pros
Good pay and benefits. Friendly staff members, great clients and families. Usually afternoon and evening shifts are available. Shifts can range from 3-5 hours, sometimes more or less on more rare occasions. Mornings are possible.
Cons
It’s really weird the way ABA therapy treats children with Autism. They view the child based on behaviors, and ABA therapy uses operant conditioning to either reinforce or punish these behaviors. ABA therapy claims to be the best treatment for Autism, but Autism is a live long developmental disorder. There is no cure or treatment. In my opinion, ABA therapy should consider social emotional development and wellbeing of their clients, however because they are funded by the insurance, their curriculum is limited to the restrictions set by said insurance company.
