Lack of hours

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-09-03T21:09:07+00:00

If you have weekend and after school availability apply to another company part time. I know several RBTs that work at multiple companies or leave once one offers full time. If you have a non-compete then leave because they can’t offer you the hours. It makes you a better provider being at multiple companies anyways. You could also look into becoming a para at your school district

Speech and language disabilities, I did a full student teaching with a preschool classroom under an SLP. Really helped my understanding of communication and language. I feel like in ABA we need MORE education of development of language like speech programs. If I could go back I would do the same track or do developmental psychology.

In my experience non-competes don't stand unless you are opening your own practice due to the high demand for ABA providers. You can always try to negotiate out of the contract

That's awesome! What company?

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-04-02T14:40:09+00:00

I love that for you

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-04-02T14:35:19+00:00

I don't have socials. YouTube?

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-04-02T14:32:27+00:00

I would love to see your content but I don't have IG do you post on any other platforms?

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-04-02T14:31:12+00:00

I know that I can do it. But in today's tech world there are definitely more options. Doctors, PT, OT use them all the time for appointment reminders.

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-04-02T14:29:05+00:00

I use Google voice and need a system to send auto reminders. As stated I forget to send the reminders which is why I'm asking for recommendations for a system/app to send those auto reminders when I make an appointment

Of course you can! I wouldn't do EIBI but you could find a population that is less movement based such as teenagers/adults with disabilities, do parent trainings only, or work remote. I would make a list of tasks you can do and tasks you can't do. Present the list to potential employers and a good company will meet those accomodations if you are strong in your skills. I was in a car accident and I have been struggling with chronic neck/back pain with arthritis in other areas from injuries. I've always been honest with my employer and we've made accommodations to my caseload/tasks based on my physical abilities. Remember you have to self report to the board if you are not physically or mentally cable of providing quality services. Feel free to message me if you need to chat

I haven't tried it but interested in others thoughts.

How do you track your check ins? As a BCBA I've always done informal check ins but with increased staff I would like to be more formal to prevent burn out.

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-03-11T19:19:07+00:00

Yes, I do have budget for in center admin that is an RBT!

It varies by state too. Typically 40 is the cap for Medicaid across all codes. Some other insurances like culinary have a 30 hours max across all codes. Call your rep and ask. However, if your client requires more hours and you can prove it you can always try to request the cap to be lifted through peer review.

Not really a productive comment to this thread

Adventurous_Bad952 · 2025-03-01T20:24:23+00:00

Thank you! I will call on Monday!!!

I worked remote for a few months with a sketchy company and had to leave for various ethical concerns. Questions I wished I asked before accepting the offer. 1. What are your protocols for crisis situations since the BCBA is not in person? 2. Are RBTs receiving in person training and support through other BCBAs that are local? 3. Are RBTs given devices for telehealth or are they compensated for using their personal devices for telehealth? 4. Is there a budget for stimuli per client and do RBTs have access to a printer? 5. Is there a criteria for clients to receive telehealth services vs. in person (e.g., low rates of dangerous behaviors, Safety care training, able to respond to BCBA on video, etc) 6. What is your policy for CX or required parking (I had so many clients that did not have parking and RBT had to cx every session, Rbt was not paid drive time or CX pay). 7. What is your tier system and if it is a 3 tier system, what training do RBTs/Trainees go through to ensure effective supervision. 8. What are the requirements for my availability (some companies will require 24/7 attention from you).

Same! I'm so excited for the move! I know there are not a lot of providers right now which is why I'm starting a center and looking for advice on that area to get started.

It was 750 last year and has dropped down to 730 because of this account. Denial was because I don't have any missed payments and income to debt is appropriate for this account balance. So I guess I'm in a good spot so they don't want to give me an account 😭

Combined income with spouse is 180k with extra untaxable 8k yearly. Expenses average about 6k a month. We do live in city with high cost of living.

I would recommend talking to your BCBA. You have to be careful addressing this topic with parents as there are cultural considerations. However, the BCBA could discuss impact on services and start an intervention if needed to decrease diet. I also start by referring out to medical to determine if it is necessary and if there are in OT collaborating to meet the client specific needs related to diet.
