It is the mission of the Silver Lining Group to help bring autistic individuals, individuals with developmental disabilities, and individuals with mental health disorders to their highest potential by providing ongoing evidence based therapeutic treatment as well as training and supervision for families, providers and the community.
Although I loved working with and getting to know all of the brilliant students, my time with this company was an incredibly disappointing experience. The environment was hectic and toxic, making it a very unstable and unstructured environment for both the clients and the employees. Employees and students were poorly treated, and it was common for employees to leave clients unattended. There has also been occurrences of employees calling African American children monkeys, which was extremely unfriendly and discriminatory. The workplace was catty and blatantly racist, and I was personally treated differently due to the color of my skin. After putting in ny 2 week notice I was suspended and after leaving, the company withheld my last paycheck. When calling to make inquiries on my pay I was told by Alison (the director) “I am sorry you feel that way” and hung up on. It has been almost 30 days since my last day and I have still not been paid. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
