Our 5 Principles of Success
We encourage our entire team to follow our five principles of success:
1. Always remain client-centered.
A healthy obsession with client progress is respected and valued. Stay flexible in your approach and meet clients where they are. That’s always our first, second, and final priority.
2. Take pride in your competence.
Achieving success is why you’re here. Always strive for that excellence in the services you provide. We want our BCBAs (and LEARN) to be the best.
3. Be curious.
Expanding knowledge and sharing with others ignites the intellectual curiosity that’s so important to the professional growth of our team.
4. Act with integrity.
No excuses on this one. Always do what’s right. Ethical practice is core to our DNA.
5. Embrace partnership.
Working well with caregivers, colleagues, and others can only make your job and the outcome better. Collaboration and family engagement are key to achieving success for our clients.
