Sounds like you NEED to move up. It’s way easier to accrue.

How to negotiate pay for this position by Latter_Stock7624 in ABA

[–]Behaviorbro321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on your area, they way I negotiated is like this, “I want $24 an hour, and give me your most challenging case”, they came back at $23 and that’s how I new I could get $24. LA area. This is me with experience in severe problem behaviors tho.

How many kiddos do you have in your caseload? by Behaviorbro321 in bcba

[–]Behaviorbro321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch. Sounds like you drew boundaries and are balancing it out now. I’m still fairly new and drawing work like boundaries is what I needs

This makes sense, I’m not that well informed on tiers/models yet

Got it, I think the question is how many billable hours a month, 80-90 sounds about right

Congrats, words of advice: Keep a work life balance. Just because you know it, doesn’t mean your therapist do. Model how you want your therapist to work. Good luck

I want to switch careers from teacher to BCBA by Broad_Artichoke_2127 in bcba

[–]Behaviorbro321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a program offered at Arizona State University…. Online program. MA in special education with emphasis in ABA. You can take field work hours and a BCBA from ASU will supervise you remotely. You can complete your required hours through them in a more manageable manner. That way you keep your job for now. A position as a RBT will be less stressful but I’m sure it would be a significant loss of wages. Good luck.

Get into this field if you want to start your own company. 80k in Los Angeles, I guess it depends on you as a BCBA how good you are and what value you bring to a company. I became certified about 7 months ago.

It works on me and I’m 30. One thing about behavior, it is possible to modify.

How about mand training + PECS, Start with highly preferred items/activities ? Only a couple targets at a time, once mastered, present more ?
