East Bay ABA

"Update: Sorry have to change this. Ever since VBA (Verbal Behavior Associates) has taken over, it has gone down the dumpster. The new management is very patronizing. Had to quit and go in an environment where I felt more comfortable as an employee. Worked there for 1 year comfortably with the BCBAs, now it feels uncomfortable. The children I worked with for months had more behaviors than previously and declined due to the demands placed that the new company put on them. It's a good thing I had good rapport with them or no progress at all would've been made with the new company. They claim that their procedures are great and while it could be true for older kids, younger ones not so much. The old BCBAs I had that I vibed with moved to other companies. Maybe that was my cue to stop earlier. My fellow local coworkers and old local managers are wonderful."

"Im really disappointed that parents forget to put reviews so others dont waste their times with ABA agencies. We had East Bay ABA for around a year and they finally told us they can not give services that we need to our kid. We were supposed to have parent training twice a month but we only got 3 or 4 over the course of a year and it was with our own request. They have not helped our kid with social interaction at all and I think most of the progress that she made in the past year was the impact of school and not ABA. Any time we asked for community training, play dates ... there was a NO because they could not resource. We had two BTs one very good and the other one was not that much expert. Regardless of how much progress our kid made, she used to do the exact same things since the beginning. I myself was trying to understand the struggles with ABA agencies and their staffing issue but any time we had a request which was not what they could do, they came back to us with a threat that they will finish their services. Please dont waste your time with them!"

"Not satisfied. The staff keeps changing and before I could change my company to another they tricked me by saying that they could not run sessions as they had no supervisors available."
