I just read that this company changed their name from Pacific Child & Family Associates to Autism Learning Partners to avoid all the negative reviews from clients and employees regarding their unethical business practices.
Do a quick Google search and you will see all the reviews from Glassdoor and Indeed about this company - many people over several years all say the same thing. Reviews under both company names reveal the same pattern of a company that only wants the money and does not care about anyone but themselves. Many parents say that their experience was terrible, many employees say they treat them badly, and some employees said they were offered a $5 Starbucks Gift card via email to write good reviews about the company and if they could not be bothered to do this then they needed to find another job.
From one parent to another, BUYER BEWARE!
I'm sharing this because, as a parent of a special needs child, I would want to know if a company like this existed so I could know to avoid them and not waste my time or my child's time. IMO, they should not even be allowed to be in business.
UPDATE 6/14/2018: In all the reviews I have read about this company, under the old name AND the new name, the only thing that changed was the name of the company - according to the reviews, the exact same patterns continued under the new name. Whether or not the leadership has changed is irrelevant if nothing has changed for the employees or the clients.
I stand by my original suggestion - BUYER BEWARE. read more
