I hate this place it is the worst place I have stayed its absurd sorry for the review

CBLG has been helping take care of my two boys since 2020. Our family would have literally not survived without them. I am a single Mom two teenage boys that are both diagnosed with severe autism, epilepsy, have high magnitude self injury behaviors, high magnitude aggression, high magnitude property destruction, limited communication, delayed independent living skills, and lack safety awareness. My boys have come a very long way thanks to this company. During their times of regression CBLG is the only place that has been able to support our family. They are a blessing and a necessity for our family to keep thriving and living.

Amazing ABA center!

They are very nice people. They help my children with autism. The staff are awesome and overall great. Btw this is a autism company.

We have been with this company for several years. We started with one of our kids in early 2020, then started our other two kids a few months later at the recommendation of our BCBA at the time, Kathy Cahill. In our first year and a half with the company, everything was working as well as it could, given our circumstances. The company was very forthcoming with changes in my children's treatment plans and we felt like we were finally on track to getting control of our kids behaviors. About a year and a half in, we were notified by our BCBA that she would be getting a promotion, but to our surprise, one of our kids previous behavior therapists, Chasity Lawrence, was also getting a promotion and would be taking over our case as BCBA with Kathy as consult. This is where things began to fall apart. We had trouble getting providers that would either be consistent with showing up, or consistent with doing their job properly. The next year and a half was a hellscape of shuffling behavior therapists and lack of progress. As an example, throughout a 6 month period, my three-year-old was prescribed 40 hours of ABA therapy a week through their company and they struggled to meet 15 citing staff shortages. We have met with executive management who have explained that since he is prescribed 40 hours a week and we can't meet that, he needs to be discharged from their company and referred out, despite having a prior conversation with our previous BCBA, Chasity, where we were all in agreement that he didn't need that many hours and would likely do well tapering back to 20-25 hours a week. Your company values are dependable, experienced, and caring, but you staffed my home with inexperienced 18-year-olds for two years citing staff shortages, then when we didn't have time to deal with the call-outs anymore you showed a lack of dependability by discharging my son. This company will prescribe your children so many hours they can't fill them, then when you ask them to prescribe less, they will discharge you. It is likely a financial problem within the company. Stay far away.

My children have been a part of CBLG for over two years now, and they have improved leaps and bounds in their social skills, emotional development, and overall quality of life. My children are challenged, but never pushed too hard. And, they genuinely enjoy working with their therapists. The RBT's and BCBA's are top notch professionals who have the heart (and guts) to give 100% to the development of those enrolled, every day. I have had my children enrolled at other ABA centers before, and CBLG is by far the best. If you visit the center, you can see the kids and young adults having a blast, and being challenged in all the right ways. Don't listen to naysayers and people who haven't given CBLG a fair shot. Check it out for yourself.

This place was the worst place to ever have enrolled my child. Looking back, they did nothing we told them we needed to work on. Offered many educational items for them to use and they wouldn’t. They worked on things they are not qualified to do. We have done more for our child without them than with them. If you have your child here pull them out. If you are thinking of going here….don’t.

Do not waste your time. We were told we needed to be as close to 40 hours a week as possible. My wife developed a schedule for 35 which would require our child to miss school 2 days a week. We were then told that we NEEDED to have at least 40 hours a week, and that our insurance(Tricare) would not cover that much and we would need to get supplemental insurance. We suggested dropping the hours down to 20 for insurance purposes and we were dropped as a client without explanation. We are now again on the waiting list for 6-12 months with another provider.
