Intercare Therapy Reviews

I was told I would only be sent 25 minutes away from my home. My eta on a good day is 45 minutes. It doesn’t matter as much for me, because I don’t think I want to go anywhere else as I really love the clinic I’m working at, but this could be a problem for others. It took a month for me to get assigned a client after training. How every BI starts out greatly varies. Some will have much more positive experiences if they’re fit in the right place, but other BI’s might realize at home leads to perceived lack of support when you’re just texting through a screen compared to supervisors being in the same place as you. Some BI’s are assigned more difficult cases than others, which can also affect work experience. Expect to get sick a lot in the beginning, but that just comes with job, so take your zinc and sanitize your hands and tablet regularly!! Not every BI’s first experience will be the same. My experience has been great, but others might be different. That’s not Intercare’s fault, just something to keep in mind. Central Reach will be confusing for a while. I consider myself tech savvy but have had a hard time navigating through this somewhat archaic system. However I know the company wide transferring of data from one application to another would be really tedious.

- Low pay. I worked for over a year and only received a 40 cent increase which feels like bare minimum. Biggest reason to leave is due to pay, you can just switch companies for better pay. - Terrible hours. Most of the time I was here I worked less than 20 hours a week on top of the low hourly wage its hard to manage your life. When I was schedule 30 hours a week it was great and I made decent money for the job but that didn't last long and the company never gave me another client. - Horrendous communication. The company expects you to reply right away to emails but the moment you need something from them its difficult to get answers. Contacting higher ups you need to fill out forms that are hard to find. Working at this company feels very bureaucratic and lacks any human warmth. Company will make huge changes with little notice. They always tell you to contact BCBA supervisor when things happen but mine took forever to reply and never answered the phone. - Other issues stem from the industry itself not necessarily the company. For example, they care way more about the data collection and graphs above all. They keep adding goals and trials that arent really meaningful but only exist to justify the billable hours for the insurance. The amount of goals and trials they make you do backfire because they start to stress out the kids but on paper and with the graph it looks great to the insurance. The science behind ABA is also outdated, it is based of behaviorism and reduces behaviors to reward/punishment loops while ignoring their cognitive processing or internal experiences which could provide explanations for behaviors.
