"I've worked in ABA-only clinics before. Having ST and OT down the hall means I'm learning something new every week, not just from trainings, but from lunch conversations."
— Devin R., BCBA, Santa Fe Springs

"The multidisciplinary setup here means I never feel like I'm guessing in my own silo. If I have a question about a kid's motor planning, the OT is right there, not three referrals away."
— Jordan K., RBT, Palmdale

"I love that leadership actually invests in team building. It's not just a pizza party once a year, it's a whole culture of showing up for each other."
