Vantaggi
-meaningful work, working on behavior plans to improve life and functioning of children on the Autism spectrum -my supervisors were great--they came to a session once a week and were always available via text, a phone call or email -can be flexible, I was able to schedule make up hours in several instances for sessions I had to miss due to being sick, etc.
Svantaggi
-some of the behaviors you experience can be overwhelming at first (biting, tantrums etc) depending on your client, but your response to the behavior is always laid out in the behavior plan, and your supervisor is always just a phone call away if a session starts to get really out of hand -would be better if it consisted of more hours a week per client, but I had the minimum of 10 per client
