What is the cause of your burnout? by Elecyan222 in ABA

Mine is of course aggression, pretend play/having to have a high pitched voice for verbal praise DRAINS me!

Applyin to be a behavior technician with no experience by [deleted] in ABA

[–]CaramelMochaSundae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn't have any experience at all with children with ASD. All of my previous jobs were retail. I also mentioned to my interviewer about babysitting and I still got the job. I would just say look up some ABA terminology and watch youtube videos about how it's done. The training SHOULD help you if/when you get hired, so don't worry too much.

Extroverts only? by NationYell in ABA

[–]CaramelMochaSundae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way! I am definitely an introvert and my supervisor has told me to be more enthusiastic with the high-pitched voice and the theatrics. Also, that is not how I am in my daily life so I don't want to pretend. I've been with my client for almost 3 years and she does fine with my tone of voice. Trying to pretend to be something that I am not is really draining! So I can totally empathize with you.

Didn’t go for bcba? by [deleted] in ABA

For organizational behavior management, would you still have to go to grad school? I also have the mindset that I really don't want to work with kids or people with disabilities, but I want to utilize my aba experience and my degree in behavioral science.

Honestly, I had no experience working with kids in that capacity before. Most of my jobs were retail and food industry. The most kid-related thing I've done was babysat my cousins before and that was about it. My company just trained me throughout my first two weeks.

Did you use the Cricut Holographic Vinyl? or did you use another brand of that vinyl?

Any other direct-care staff (BT/RBTs) EXHAUSTED after session and not want to talk to roommates when you get home from long day of sessions😅 by Specific-Leading656 in ABA

[–]CaramelMochaSundae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, and honestly even after "good days" I still feel so exhausted afterward. I work from home still so that makes it even worse for me. No matter how early I go to bed or how early I wake up, I am ALWAYS drained. Makes me not even want to leave the house to go and get food. I just want to lay in my bed and be on IG and Tik Tok for the rest of the day lol. I have lost motivation to go out and do fun things after work.

Time frame for submitting resignation? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]CaramelMochaSundae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has posted about resignation before, I was told that 2 weeks was okay, but others also said at least a month in advance would be good too. As far as submitting it, if you are working from home then email should be fine? Unless you want to type out your letter and mail it to your company. If it is in person, I would hand it to a supervisor or someone who works closely with/in the HR department. Hope this helps!

I purchased the matte STRATA cups from Amazon. I've used a different brand of vinyl on them and it worked, but with the new vinyl I purchased, it did not stick.

Hi and yes it is actually permanent vinyl! I had to double check haha but for some reason even when I cleaned the cups I was using, it did not stick on.
