SEEKING: ETHICAL ABA ORGANIZATION IN LEHIGH VALLEY, PA (Who are looking to hire committed BTs/RBTs)
As some of you may already know, I started a new project about 2 months ago that we’re calling RBT Pipeline Development to develop a consistent pipeline of RBTs for a highly ethical ABA organization located in the Lehigh Valley area.
Although it’s taken countless hours of work using an internal team of 7 (6 including myself) we have achieved unprecedented, but qualified, success. Qualified only because our success has been in identifying and ushering in candidates from outside the field of ABA interested in becoming RBTs. All viable candidates possess the main characteristics we were seeking – (1) burning desire to help other people; (2) experience working with individuals with disabilities; (3) personal commitment to professional growth; (4) loyalty, as exhibited by their stated desire to stay and grow with an organization long-term – as long as the business continued to deliver on its promises.
As it turns out, we have done our jobs so well that we need to find additional homes to place these candidates that our original client is not able to absorb.
I am looking for recommendations from people in the field of ABA of other Ethical ABA Organizations located in the Lehigh Valley and Harrisburg/Mechanicsburg areas with a demonstrated commitment to supporting their BTs and RBTs by giving them ALL the tools and support they need to transform lives.
In addition to being an ethical ABA organization, I am looking for client partners who are willing fully collaborate and work with me and take a systems approach to solve the big business challenges that all organizations face. Recruiting is only one piece of the puzzle. In order to improve services and reduce turnover, the entire business needs to be optimized so that we can create opportunities to offer true career paths and diversity of work to BTs and RBTs who are not interested in becoming BCBAs.
Our pipeline includes 21 candidates who have been prescreened (Zoom interviews available) and are working on gathering their clearances. Clearances include:
(1) Mandated Reporting
(2) CPR
(3) PA DHS Fingerprint
(4) PA PDE Fingerprint
(5) PA Criminal Background
(6) PA Child Abuse History Certification
We have offered our RBT Training to all candidates who have passed our interviews that are waiting to be placed so some may be in various stages of completion.
Please email kchung@special-learning.com with recommendations on ABA Organizations located in the Lehigh Valley and Harrisburg Areas that place the needs of clients ahead of profits and employ business practices that nurture their staff.
Thank You!
