Rewarding Experience - Instructional Aide Morgan Autism Center Employee Review

Pay is good along with the atmosphere

Long hours however compensation is worth it

I laugh every day, whether it's with students or staff. Classroom team has a close bond, but may take time to break into the social group. People are very friendly, and school culture is very positive. Lots of breaks during the year. Offers full medical/dental for you, but not family.

Quality of the lead teacher (in terms of supervision of your work, leadership ability, affect) varies wildly from room to room. It's essentially luck of the draw where you get placed. Pay is difficult to survive on unless you have a second job. You will be injured by a student eventually, it is just a matter of how severe it is. Not a meaningful amount of training, you learn by doing. It will feel extremely disorganized for the first few months until you get a handle of the schedules and the individual needs of the students.
