Review for Sandy Cay Inc, Bryan, OH, USA
The director holds no standards of operation. Standards that are set to be put in place are forged but not implemented. This causes a disservice to the client. Complaints from former employees include :
-Unfair wages
-Lack of disciplinary action in staff conduct which was unsafe for treatment of children
-misleading client families as to the type of services it can provide
- lack of appropriate training through certified staff to implement job requirements
As with many employers & especially small non-profit organizations, it is not always possible to pay our hard working staff the wages we wish we could afford. Typically, 82-87% of our budget is utilized for staffing. It's not an easy task to teach children with behavioral challenges such as autism & we follow protocols including Applied Behavior Analysis. Some staff have difficulty following these protocols & become frustrated when their skills are deemed ineffective for our students. However, the claims made by the individual here are wholly untrue as we follow the OH Dept. of Education standards & our professional staff consist of licensed teachers, Intervention Specialists, para-professionals & an ABA Specialist. We also contract with a professional speech & language pathologist, an occupational therapist, an equine therapist & a retired art teacher. Our motto is: Sail the SEAS with SCI: Safety, Ethics, Accountability & Standards. Safety is primary in our organization.
