Here’s What our Employees Have to Say About our Culture

“I enjoy being a part of a large team with resources and people to collaborate with. I appreciate that I am often asked for feedback or ideas. I feel as if there is a priority for organization and efficiency and providing me with a very strong foundation that I have not seen at other places I’ve worked. I feel supported and comfortable asking for help.”

“I love the teamwork and the open collaboration that happens within team members. I think every one of us are caring individuals that puts our clients first and are willing to work with each other and learn from each other. I think that’s very special, especially in a company that has different lenses and approaches to treatment.”

“The team aspect is a great part. Being part of the different disciplines and collaborating holistically is one of my favorite parts. I feel that the staff are friendly and inclusive. The constant communication among staff is also appreciated and being able to bounce ideas off in real time with the team.”

“What I love the most about working here is the experiences that I am getting, and the ability to ask so many questions while on the job pertaining to clients, and about different strategies that can be used with clients. This is so helpful.”

“I enjoy watching the clients grow and develop to their full potential. I appreciate that Blue Bird allows for its employees to expand their horizons and take on new learning curves that will help them achieve new heights professionally.”

“The employees that are hired are strong, dedicated to what they do and always helping each other out and learning from each other. The collaborative nature leads to learning for everyone and great treatment for clients. The day is fun and busy. I like how much autonomy we have in the treatment we provide and materials that are provided to use in sessions.”

“I love collaborating with all of the different disciplines in order to provide the best services for each client. I think that most therapists are open to trying new ideas recommended by various disciplines and are eager to incorporate new strategies that are beneficial to the clients they are seeing.”

“Eyas Landing is a unique environment in which the therapists collaborate with one another, the families and caregivers, teachers, and other providers to ensure that the children they are treating have congruent care in order to increase their overall success and achieve their highest level of potential. We treat children ranging from infancy to late teens within the clinic, their homes, schools, and other community settings, all of whom have a variety of different diagnoses. The clinicians and staff at Eyas Landing are all very passionate about what they do, and are supportive and dedicated. For these reasons, I love working here!”

“I love my coworkers and the kiddos that we work with. There is a big emphasis on growth and learning. Everyone makes me feel welcome to ask any questions that I have. It is so easy to see the passion that we all have here working towards the company’s mission and that makes this a rewarding place to work.”

“An aspect to the team that should never be lost is the overwhelming support from each member of the team from department heads to therapeutic assistants to admin. What many people have worked very hard to foster together is an environment that rewards open communication and actually listening and respecting every single member of the team.”

“I love the collaboration between disciplines that is constantly occurring. I feel as though this has allowed me to grow as a therapist and treat our clients with a new understanding. All of the team members are so supportive of one another – always willing to lend a helping hand, give a break during a challenging behavior, laugh about great or tough moments or discuss clients. I love that the company asks for feedback from employees and seems to want to make changes to better employee’s experiences. I love that the company is open to changes although change isn’t always easy!”
