What our team says about us
-
I love working at Butterfly Effects! Ever since I started the culture has been wonderful, inclusive, and inviting. I feel proud to work for a company and know I am making a difference to a child who is in need of ABA. The company cares about their employees and is always thinking of more ways to bring us together. I highly recommend working here.
Maxine, Family Service Liaison, Deerfield Beach, Florida -
I have been working for Butterfly Effects for over 6 years and it’s because of the incredible amount of love and support I get as an employee here. They always encourage personal growth as well as professional development. We are treated like family and there is always a sense of belonging. They are very flexible and always ensure that there is a positive workplace culture. I also love contributing to a larger purpose which is to improve the lives of families affected by autism.
Jetzebell, Sr. Administrative Assistant/Office Manager, Deerfield Beach, Florida -
I started as an RBT with Butterfly Effects, and I quickly became a company mentor shortly after. Not only did the impact on the children make me fall in love with ABA, but the way Butterfly Effects supports you, encourages you, and rewards you, made me want to pursue a lifelong career in ABA. Their mission to make socially meaningful changes in the lives of children and families not only applies to their clients but their employees as well.
Stephanie, MA, BCBA, LBA, Tucson, Arizona -
Since starting with Butterfly Effects in February 2022 as a BCBA, I have grown more in the past 6 months as an individual in the field of ABA and as a BCBA than with any other company. The support I am given on a consistent and daily basis from my clinical team has strengthened my confidence and independence as a BCBA. Butterfly Effects has given me the necessary resources and tools needed to further my career and has heightened my passion for the field of ABA.

I have been part of the Butterfly Effects family for the last 6 years and it has been a wonderful experience. I absolutely love the clients and families we work with, and there is a feeling of support and the ability to reach out to upper management when questions arise has been unmatched to previous companies I have worked for. We have an amazing team who strives to not only improve the lives of our clients and their families, but to continue to strengthen our knowledge and improve our clinical skills.
Briana, MS, BCBA, San Jose, California -
I chose to work for BE due to its employee appreciation and support hierarchy. Unlike most companies, BE offers support at a local, state, and country level. This allows BCBA’s to collaborate on clinical concerns and review cases with other BCBA’s not only in their immediate city but all over the country. A resource like this is truly invaluable. Constant supports from regional directors, clinical directors, and even the president himself exemplifies BE’s dedication to it’s employees and client progress.

Alexa, M.Ed., BCBA, Tampa, Florida -
Being with Butterfly Effects has been rewarding from the moment I started. The constant support and positive feedback received from other BE employees have shaped me into the RBT I am today. I am proud to be part of such a kind and diverse company, who truly value both client and employee experience. It’s always exciting to hear about new employee opportunities Butterfly Effects has to offer as I continue to grow with them!

Since beginning with the company as an RBT, Butterfly Effects has supported my career development by adding the mentor position to my resume.

I appreciate the personal touch and feedback that each mentor has provided me throughout my journey.
Savannah, MS, RBT, Mentor, San Diego, California -
When I first joined the Butterfly Effects team in April 2021, I was just coming out of college and was very unsure of what I would do in the future. With the support and guidance from the friendly BCBAs and RBTs, I was able to begin helping our clients affected by ASD and their families with communication and behavior reduction.
Megan, RBT, Rhode Island -

My experience with Butterfly Effects has been very positive, and the staff is excellent; from RD to BCBA to mid-levels, you feel supported if you are struggling; you know that they will help you succeed; they challenge you to be better at what you do. When I joined the company, I felt intimidated, but my RD was supportive and pushed me to give my best.
