Svantaggi
Training was an abysmal full two weeks of 8 hour video sessions - horrible. Micromanagement to the third degree. You have to teach a child, take notes on every little detail of their session, ensure you follow a rigorously constructed list of things to do TO A T, and use a scripted set of rewards to "motivate" them. Almost all of my coworkers were soulless zombies. There was no sense of comradery or team work at my center. There also are no incentives in place for clinicians to do exceptional work. Pay is disgustingly low for how much lindamood bell charges for their sessions. This is corporate greed at its worst. Lindamood Bell's learning methods simply cannot help some of the kids that are let in. Mind you, some of these children had severe behavioral issues that nobody was trained to deal with at all. Also, the utter inflexibility of lesson plans and content is disappointing. A company that specializes in teaching should realize that one size does not fit all when it comes to children learning. Scheduling was so haphazard you could never rely on having a set number of hours.
