Your acknowledgment of FirstSteps’ clinical excellence means a great deal, as we are committed to maintaining the highest standards in all that we do. We are also sorry to read of your recent concerns. While billing is necessary to sustain our operations, it is certainly not part of our company mission. Our primary focus and heart of our company remains on delivering exceptional ABA care to our clients while always supporting and prioritizing our entire team. We are committed to addressing the issues you shared and encourage you to reach out to the Clinic Director and/or our People & Purpose Team right away so we can address your concerns directly, ensure you feel heard and supported, and remedy any problems occurring.

Pros

Training staff-very compassionate trainer, always provides consistent support and knowledge. Leads (most of them) are the backbone of the company, one of the leads is absolutely excellent and goes out of her way consistently to support and offer direction/advice etc. -Bcba’s that have been there for a while are great advocates and helpful

Cons

SCHEDULING. So many people leave due to consistent issues with the scheduler. Lack of communication with schedule changes, pushing cover sessions on instructors who aren’t comfortable working with kids, unprofessional communication, forgets to schedule breaks and lunches, wrong locations tagged on sessions etc. Although moving up levels is easily attainable, the pay rate is low for expectations. -kids come in sick and aren’t sent home -parking pass required but isn’t factored into the schedule unless you request it
