When you choose a therapy provider for your child, you’re not just choosing an approach or a location. You’re choosing people—the therapists who will spend hours with your child, celebrate their wins, support them through challenges, and become part of your family’s journey.
At Committed to Kids ABA, our team isn’t just what we do. It’s who we are.
Our Philosophy: People First, Always
Here’s something we believe deeply: You can’t provide child-centered, respectful care if you don’t have a staff-centered, respectful culture.
Think about it. If our therapists are burned out, stressed, and unsupported—how can they show up with patience, creativity, and joy for your child?
They can’t.
That’s why we’ve built a culture that values our team as much as we value the families we serve. Because when our staff thrive, your children thrive.
What Makes Our Team Different
We Hire for Heart, Then Train for Skills
When we’re interviewing potential team members, we’re not just looking at resumes and certifications (though those matter too). We’re looking for:
✨ Genuine love for kids and families People who light up talking about the children they’ve worked with
✨ Curiosity over judgment “Why is this happening?” instead of “This behavior is bad”
✨ Humility and willingness to learn Understanding that autistic adults and families are teachers too
✨ Flexibility and creativity Being able to follow a child’s lead, even when it means abandoning the lesson plan
✨ Belief in neurodiversity Truly understanding that different ≠ less than
According to research from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, the most successful ABA programs prioritize cultural fit and values alignment—not just technical skills. We couldn’t agree more.
Technical skills? Those we can teach. A genuine commitment to respecting and celebrating neurodiversity? That has to already be there.
We Practice What We Preach
Remember how we talk about neuroaffirming, child-led approaches? We apply those same principles to how we treat our team:
Autonomy & Choice Just like we respect when a child says “no,” we respect our staff’s boundaries and needs. Flexible scheduling, input on caseloads, and the freedom to advocate for themselves.
Strengths-Based Approach We don’t focus on what therapists are “bad at.” We build on their unique strengths. Love working with toddlers? Great! Passionate about AAC? Perfect! Gifted with teens? We need you!
Communication & Collaboration We create space for all voices—not just the loudest or most experienced. New RBTs have valuable perspectives. We listen.
Growth Without Pressure Professional development is encouraged and supported, but never demanded or rushed. Your career path is yours to design.
Celebrating Wins Team meetings aren’t just problem-solving sessions. We celebrate the small moments—the child who made eye contact because they wanted to, the parent who felt heard, the breakthrough in communication.
We Don’t Do Burnout Culture
Let’s be honest: ABA can be exhausting. Working with children with high needs, supporting families through challenges, managing behaviors, documenting everything—it’s a lot.
That’s why we’ve intentionally built a culture that prevents burnout rather than just manages it after it happens.
How we do this:
📅 Manageable Caseloads We don’t overload our therapists. Quality over quantity, always.
🛡️ Strong Clinical Support Every therapist has regular supervision with a BCBA. You’re never alone in handling challenging situations.
⏰ Reasonable Schedules We offer both part-time and full-time positions. Need Fridays off? We work with you. Have school on certain days? We accommodate.
💰 Fair Compensation Competitive pay, paid training, mileage reimbursement (when applicable), and benefits for full-time staff.
🤝 Team Collaboration Regular team meetings, peer support, and an open-door policy. Struggling with something? Let’s problem-solve together.
🌟 Recognition & Appreciation Your work matters, and we make sure you know it. Regular feedback, appreciation, and celebration of your impact.
According to industry research on ABA workforce retention, the top reasons therapists leave the field are burnout, lack of support, and poor work-life balance. We’ve designed our culture to address exactly these issues.
Our Team Values
These aren’t just words on a wall. These are the principles that guide every decision we make:
1. Respect Above All
For the children we serve, the families we partner with, and each other. Respect for autonomy, boundaries, communication, and humanity.
2. Curiosity Over Judgment
We approach behaviors, challenges, and differences with curiosity. “What’s happening here?” not “What’s wrong with them?”
3. Growth Mindset
We’re always learning—from autistic adults, from research, from families, from each other. We don’t have all the answers, and we’re okay with that.
4. Collaboration
The best outcomes happen when everyone’s voice is heard: children, families, RBTs, BCBAs, OTs, SLPs, teachers. We work together.
5. Joy in the Work
Yes, this work is hard. But it should also bring joy. We celebrate the small wins, laugh with the kids, and find meaning in the relationships we build.
6. Integrity
We do the right thing even when no one’s watching. We admit mistakes. We prioritize quality over quantity. We don’t cut corners.
