Vantaggi

The center was clean and organized, there was always a supervisor around to help out, and it was within driving distance of a lot of food places.

Svantaggi

I disclosed in my interview that I'm neurodivergent and that I felt like it would give me an advantage to connect with my clients. I have a lot of experience working with folks with various abilities and ages and felt I had a unique approach to offer. My clients weren't reaching their benchmarks quickly enough and I was blamed for that. I asked for accommodations of written feedback and extra training. They offered the extra training but told me they told me they couldn't provide me with written feedback. Only one of the supervisors was actually willing to work with me on that and help me. Pretty crummy for a company that is supposed to be about helping kids with neurodivergencies and disabilities. I also didn't get enough time to adjust to the work culture and expectations of the job and was only there for about a month total. That is not enough time to learn any job let alone one that requires you to bond with children and earn their trust. I didn't get the opportunity to say goodbye to my clients either which is pretty messed up in my opinion. Kids deserve closure just like anyone else. I have come to realize that this field is flawed and that the "science" it's based on is outdated and can actually harm kids. The excuse they gave me for letting me go was ridiculous. They said my skills weren't where they needed them to be which I thought was laughable considering I wasn't given enough time to develop my skills.

Here at Westside, our clients – their progress, assent, and safety - are our first priority. But to accomplish this very special mission, we know that growing our team of dedicated, professional, and exceptional technicians is the most important step. ABA is a challenging – and very rewarding – career choice. It takes a commitment to skills development and a big heart for the work we do. That’s why, here at WBT, we provide a multi-track and ongoing training program for our staff, depending on previous experience in the field. If you join our team and have previous experience working in ABA, your orientation and training might look very different from team members who are new to the field. Either way, Westside provides a specific and individualized plan to grow each team member’s skill and proficiency. The work is not for everyone, but we’re committed to our training program and our steadfast work toward steering our technicians toward extraordinary competency and career growth. Growing our staff and building a community of exceptional ABA providers is our goal. Providing outstanding service to our clients, families, and the ABA community is our commitment.

Like many jobs working with children, it can be emotionally and physically taxing so it's essential to have a good routine outside of work to help support your mental and physical health as a whole.
