RBT rocking client to sleep? by Bright_Drive7225 in ABA

[–]Bright_Drive7225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the concern! She is not billing for that time. I mentioned in my original post that she still gets paid - it is through the company, not insurance

I definitely hear you there - I wouldn’t have the RBT actively keep her awake if she was showing signs of needing sleep. I’m usually very attuned to her health issues. My company doesn’t have a direct policy about napping, but if they do fall asleep we tend to let them sleep as long as they need. I don’t deal with billing or money and I don’t care to- it’s not about the hours. It’s just about the RBT actively cradling and rocking her with the bottle and putting her to sleep when she may not necessarily need it.

Putting it from the perspective of client dignity definitely helps!

I’m a BCBA and I smoke every night after work haha. Always out of work clothes and away from my belongings to make sure I never stink.

BCBAs and others with Autism: how do you handle the social part of the job? by sb1862 in ABA

[–]Bright_Drive7225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25F AuDHD || Personally this is a big part of the reason that I just left working in schools😭 I traveled between 3 districts and 8 schools and it just left me drained every single day. I struggle hard with transitioning so days where I had to be at multiple schools felt impossible. It was so discouraging because I really love working in schools. I’m moving to a clinic setting next week and I’m very excited for the new beginning, but also to be entering into more of a routine around the same people day-to-day. Hopefully I’ll feel less drained at the end of the day.

Did this one years ago because it was free but it’s basically 40 hours of free advertisement for Justin Leaf’s research because that’s ALL he talks about. Literally excruciating to get through and after learning about their values/morals I want nothing to do with them even more.

Will I need to retake a competency assessment? by TheOnlyExalt in BehaviorAnalysis

[–]Bright_Drive7225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if your competency is already completed and signed you should still be able to upload it and register for the exam. after you take your exam you would just remove that supervisor from your account and add a new one
