Working at Motivated Learners LLC has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company truly lives up to its name—it's filled with passionate educators, supportive leadership, and a culture that prioritizes growth for both students and staff. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of learners and witness firsthand the positive impact our programs make every day.

What sets Motivated Learners apart is its commitment to professional development and a team-oriented environment. I’ve always felt valued and encouraged to bring new ideas to the table. Communication is clear, expectations are fair, and management genuinely cares about your success—not just as an employee, but as a person.

If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, make a difference, and feel part of a mission-driven community, I couldn’t recommend Motivated Learners LLC more highly. It’s a fantastic place to work

If you're unsure where to send your clinic for ABA, stop now. You've found somewhere that can give you child everything they need. I've written my brief back story to support my review.

During COVID, my son was referred to Early Intervention due to his developmental delays amongst other symptoms. We enrolled in the program. As many of you know, this system is beneficial yet broken. Case managers kept quitting and it was a battle to ensure my son kept receiving the care he needed. I was constantly advocating for him. It felt like it was me against the world.

After my son was diagnosed, he was about 3 years old. One of his therapists worked for a center that had ABA amongst many other therapies. I figured he'd be well off at the center. Of note, we're not talking about Motivated Learners yet. Anyway, the company was sold to a bigger corporation. To say the least, everything went downhill from there. It was traumatic to endure. I fired his prior clinic after a sit down with the higher ups. The sit down was to discuss why my son went through SIX BCBAs within a 6 month period and constant turnover of therapists/RBTs. A toxic work environment was clearly evident. How was my son supposed to thrive if the workers weren't set up for success?

Another stage of advocating, battling, and restlessness - all to ensure the best for my child. I couldn't let him stay there. It was a processing period. I had to dive myself into more research I never thought I'd ever need to know.

Of the countless hours of acquiring newfound knowledge since the diagnosis, there was a significant portion spent on new facilities, clinics, and certified professionals. It was hard always being on the defense and not knowing who I could entrust with my son.

When I toured and interviewed Motivated Learners with my son and husband, we had a feeling that we found the perfect place. My son immediately took to the staff and was content. My husband and I had an instinct that we found the one. We enrolled him less than a week later.

Motivated Learners has changed my family's life. I don't know where we would be without them. Not a day goes by that I don't Thank God for crossing paths with Motivated Learners. What was once a small, hidden gem is now turned into three facilities and well deserved.

The staff here is able to reach my son. He is thriving. He loves going to clinic and enjoys being there. They regularly send me photos and updates. I can't believe my son has come so far. I will always be grateful for Motivated Learners. This is by far the best ABA center I've ever encountered. I've toured and interview A LOT of places. Hand to God, this is the BEST PLACE EVER.

I can write a novel of how this place has changed my life and is the best center out there. My son has changed so much. There are no words to describe relief I've had since we started this center. All in all, I'm at peace knowing it's been nearly a year and we haven't gone through a rotation of 6 BCBAs and brand new team.

Quality treatment. Educated staff. Caring facility. This is a place you can trust to take care of your child. I promise you, it'll get better if you enroll your child here.

This amazing staff cares tremendously about each individual they work with. They are professional and compassionate. Because they are a smaller company they are able to offer a more unique and individualized approach. Would highly recommend to all my friends and family who have a child with autism.

When my daughter was diagnosed with ASD we were advised to look into ABA clinics but were hesitant due to mixed reviews of ABA itself. All of that changed when I stumbled upon Motivated Learners. They responded right away when I inquired and the staff is VERY welcoming and accommodating, not to mention they have an open door policy so I am welcome to pop in whenever I want. They also use an app and send updates throughout the day which is comforting.

In the short amount of time my daughter has been enrolled at the clinic she has thrived and there isn’t a day she comes home where she hasn’t learned something new or has accomplished a new milestone. I can’t thank the staff at Motived Learners enough for how great they are with my daughter and recommend them to anyone who has children on the spectrum.

Working with Motivated Learners has been a deeply rewarding experience. From day one, it’s been clear that this is a company truly driven by compassion—both for the clients they serve and the team members who support that mission.

At the heart of everything Motivated Learners does is a genuine commitment to helping individuals thrive.

As an employee, I feel incredibly supported. The working environment is collaborative and encouraging. Feedback is constructive, growth is prioritized, and empathy is the foundation of every interaction.

Motivated Learners exemplifies what high-quality ABA should look like: compassionate, data-informed, and driven by the belief that everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential. I’m proud to be part of a team that truly makes a difference.

I am appreciative of the opportunities I have to make a positive impact on the lives of these extraordinary children. Witnessing their progress and achievements has been a profoundly rewarding experience. I value the strong working relationships I have developed with our team of RBTs, and the outstanding support and guidance provided by our supervisors. My knowledge and appreciation of ABA have expanded considerably during my time at ML! If you are looking for a career that offers the chance to make a meaningful difference or a treatment center that provides individualized care with compassion and respect, ML is an outstanding option.
