The Autism Therapy Group (ATG)

Here is my families experience with ATG. We came to them because they acquired our former ABA company. We were so comfortable with our ABA team (as many families are with the BCBAs and RBTs they form working relationships with) we happily moved with this transition. In a few short months the staff drastically reduced down to a handful of people. A team of BCBAs went down to one single person. The staff of RBTs that knew my child and her behaviors were gone virtually overnight. My family was in the very uncomfortable process of contesting an insurance appeal. We've hired an attorney and were doing everything we could to help our special needs child adjust to process of beginning school. This was a very delicate time in our child's development. ATG made an agreement to let us pay out of pocket for therapy services in our child's private school and this was not an inexpensive agreement. We paid thousands of dollars a month to have ABA services for our child. In that time we lost an incredible BCBA and RBT. When the apparent lack of staff became an issue we reached out to AGT to stop services and they cut off services immediately. We had another day scheduled and they completely ignored my calls and e-mails to have our last scheduled day. My child has a very documented history of trouble with transition and sudden change. They completely ignored our calls to have our child come in and say goodbye to a therapist that worked with her for years. If you are a parent of an autistic child please look elsewhere for ABA therapy.

If you look over my review history, very rarely have I ever considered giving such low reviews. I typically have the mindset of if I have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.However, my experience with this company has been so poor, I can't avoid but sharing in the hopes that other families will think twice.The company I was receiving services from prior to ATG was Invohealthcare, and while they were not perfect (mostly billing issues) they were a great company. When ATG bought the company, I was initially excited and looking forward to positive changes, even if they had the offset of growing pains. Invo had, in fact, bought out Autism Home Support Services and the...read full review

This place is a nightmare to work at. If you want to preserve your sanity of dignity, walk. There are kids there that brought by parents to soley get babysitting done. The staff are gaslight into tolerating low pay, long hours, and the mean girl cliche is evident. If you are a minority with a brNoain and a opinion, watch out. The clinical director does not like that. She will work you to the bone. POC are not respected, especially black and non conformist model minorities. The pay is around $20, which is $6 under the state average. Additionally, they are more centered on brainwashing BT's with old school ABA tactics that don't really do anything. Don't get me started on the high school drama. It's so dumb. Monthly meetings are a joke. No one needs to hear that a clinical director has breakdowns in her car every month. When you do become an RBT you don't get a Promotion. BT's are forced to work in situations beyond their comfortable level with very little guidance. There are much better places to work, and much better places to bring kids too. Insurance companies must be happy though.
