Kids are great - Recensione dipendente - Instructors Assistant presso Capitol Autism Services

Love it there and pay was great!

Benefits but amazing staff anf great work atmosphere

Very rewarding, kids are mostly fantastic and the improvement/interactions you see with these kids makes it worth while! These kids warm your heart and being an advocate for them and changing their lives will make anyone love this job. You also almost always have support in your classrooms which is VERY helpful.

Training makes this job seem easy breezy. I promise you it’s not. Even with tons of experience you are never fully prepared for this job. It is a fantastic and rewarding job and it fills your heart with love and the kids are mostly great and you grow to love them. However you are dealing with lower functioning kids with pretty severe behaviors most of the time which include hurting themselves and/or YOU! It can also be super overwhelming at times. Joining the school I could of only assumed what it would be like but they make it seem a lot easier and chill than it actually is (it’s not). The turn over rate is pretty bad, most people don’t stay there longer than a year if that and we are constantly understaffed. The pay should be a lot better for the amount of work you do but it is what it is. I’m not trying to scare you BUT I’m trying to be honest with what this job actually entails because no one else will.
