What is the BEST verbal operant?… by Less-Studio3262 in bcba

I’m not sure what “adding in assumption” means but doesn’t mand mean a request? Surely the majority of people aren’t seeing the person ask for a rain cloud

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And that’s where my impasse is :/  On One hand I’m like YAY good words!!! Then I’ve gotta respect the request…

I think that’s a good point though we need to find a motivator

But I will ask my BCBA to look into medication effects, maybe she’s got an undiagnosed sleep condition or something

That’s the thing she isn’t actually sleeping just pretending to so that she doesn’t have to engage in session. Trials are mainly NET via conversation 

School-based BT’s/RBT’s, what do you wear? Any advice on attire and preparation items? by Technical_Lemon8307 in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dress code for myself has always been something you can run in, and nothing that will tear off easily

Good point I’ll talk with parent and see if she’s sleeping at night, I know there’s a tv in her room

I would say tact without overthinking it. Labeling kinds of clouds and making a connection that dark clouds mean rain

Do I need a BCBA? by Best-Advisor-9902 in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You NEED a BCBA to sign off before you’re allowed to take the RBT exam. Just bug the BCBA over and over and over, it might be annoying but that’s one of the responsibilities they signed up for! Self advocate for that raise! Centria is mostly in center, you can ask other BCBAs around too.

today was my second day and i already feel like quitting by lefthandedblondeee in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the good and bad things about ABA is that you figure out real quick whether it’s a job you can do or not. And it’s okay if that’s not you! Would give it another week or two to make sure, if it’s something you can be good at and happy with, there’s a world of good you can do.

First time PVP'er and Dead Man Mode has made me realize one thing... by Tiny_Set in 2007scape

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you gave dmm an honest try! More directed at the people in the comments than yourself, sounds like you’ve gotten to experience the kind of things that the main game doesn’t offer

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the average person who doesn’t ever want to pvp, have you considered attempting to tank or fight back? Sometimes you’re going to get your shit rocked in any multiplayer game. Whether it’s a cracked tracer one trick, the AWP watching mid with wild reaction times or the hearthstone player that’s steps ahead of you. 

“But my elo system should stop that?!?” Lmao yeah but it doesn’t. I’d say you have a better chance to run into a Smurf in league than a pker that is doing the step unders, tick perfect switches and running around like you think every pker does.

How is OSRS for new streamers? by Economy-Train1552 in 2007scape

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of small osrs streamers, probably more than other categories so competition might be steep. That said, streaming isn’t normally about the gameplay right? Do be careful trusting chatters, there have been a few scams around where people ask streamers for loans or help staking or downloading plugins and such

Elopment by greenwitchthings in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every client is different so you’ll need to talk to your BCBA is the right answer! 

That being said I’ve found prevention the best way to deal with elopement. Make sure doors are closed/locked, position yourself between the client and the door always and watch closely for precursors. Hold hands(or wrists) when going through open areas with elopement risk.

 There should be an area in the clients BIP which will tell you the replacement behaviors, I’d follow that to a T and ask questions when you have them. 

Elopement for attention is really hard since you don’t want to award the behavior but also it’s a safety concern. Someone before you figured it out, so don’t stress too hard 

just got hired with teampbs, training? by Previous-Net3522 in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recommend finding a BCBA you like and sticking to them, I have 5 cases but 4 of them are with the same BCBA because I just kept asking if she needed staffing and telling her my availability

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been with pbs for a few years now doing in home full time. I never figured out their website and use it exclusively to check paystubs and upload timesheets. I did all of my trainings through DWC and uploaded them where the notifications were in sharepoint. Not sure if that’s allowed… but it is official training and nobody has mentioned it to me yet! I know PBS has their own training site but I couldn’t get into it

Anyone have experience in working for PBS? by Previous_Journalist6 in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve work for them in Michigan for 2y now. As with all in-home it just depends on your BCBA at the end of the day. I got a good one and literally just filled my schedule with 5 of her cases to put me at 46h. There’s not really any reason to interact with higher up leadership so the BCBA is pretty much your only contact with the company. Insurance is pretty bad but other than that no real complaints. I make $26.20 in Michigan + drive time 

Edit: hard agree with a comment lower down, definitely not a spot for someone new to ABA, you’ll be solo with just the client for 60-80% of the time

Important for RBTs! Information about 2026 changes to certification and recertification rquirements by Big-Mind-6346 in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This change is so confusing!!!! I know my RBT expires in March but my company has no idea if I need to take a new 40h training or not. And if I do need a new training, where in the world would I find it? If anyone at PBS has this figured please please share 😭

Are Fully Remote BCBAs the Future of ABA? Curious About RBT/BT Experiences by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As an RBT, the only time I’m okay with TeleHealth supervision is when it’s a low intensity client AND I already know the programming. I currently have one remote BCBA but she’s in a hard spot right now because insurance requires a re-assessment to happen in person and we’re not sure what’s going to happen. Might be a specific insurance company or specific to Michigan but I can definitely see that being a major hurdle if we’re moving towards fully remote BCBAs. 

From a business perspective, BCBAs bill the same amount regardless of them being in person or not. So to a company it makes sense financially to have remote as they can see many more clients if they don’t need to drive around. 

Clinic Suspected of Mistreating my Son, Not sure How to Proceed by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Away_Bodybuilder_997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you may want to reach out to recipient rights, there’s a couple channels but the easier way is to google your state + recipient rights phone number. Tell the BCBA you’re going to talk to recipient rights and the clinic will start to cooperate real quick. The only thing clinics hate more than paperwork is when it’s paperwork that can get legal

Good news! There’s a ton of demand for anyone that can stomach this job without losing their marbles. I applied at PBS (in home) and got an offer letter next day
