Staff Testimonials

  • “ I have been with Stepping Stones for close to two years now and I love it here. The work environment is very comfortable and management and BCBA's are very kind and motivated. Stepping Stones has done a great job of cultivating people who are passionate about what they do and give it their all. This is a fantastic place to work and people really care about each other here. ”

  • Stepping Stones is a great company to be a part of. It’s my home away from home. The employees are very good at what they do and are always willing to lend a helping hand. Clients and families are top priority and it shows through the quality service that is provided.

  • Stepping Stones is unique in the way they value team members. Hence, a low turnover rate. After being in the field for close to a decade, I can confidently say this is the most supportive, collaborative, ethical and positive work environment I’ve ever been in. The Clinical team and management are approachable and communicative. Everyone works together with the same common goal: helping our clients reach their full potential while maintaining client dignity in a conducive learning environment with an emphasis on connection, compassion and functional communication.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Another thing that sets Stepping Stones apart from other ABA companies is their selective hiring process. Our Clinical Director, owner and admin are always looking for quality over quantity. In other clinics I’ve worked at, the quality of RBTs always varied greatly. This is the first company I’ve worked for where I can say ALL of our RBTs are above average in every aspect of the job. We truly have a phenomenal group of RBTs; I’m proud to work alongside each of them.
