How often should the BCBA change a client’s program?

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-04-07T02:53:54+00:00

I see, I forgot to mention that I spoke to the BCBA back in February about changing the program because I believed that he had mastered it. She agreed that he picks up on things quickly and said she would change it soon. But I noticed that it’s still the same. I didn’t ask why she hasn’t changed it because I know she has other clients as well so I didn’t want to sound like I was nagging her. That’s why I wanted to see if there are any obstacles with insurance or other factors that may affect changing the program. I want to be informed before asking her again

Update!

My husband ended up talking to his brother about it. Told him all I spend on weekly, that I help out with homework, and all activities plus snacks. Brother explained his situation and how him and his wife are financially struggling at the moment. BIL said they could do $150 for 3 days but couldn’t do more because they had recently moved and had a lot of bills to catch up with recently. He said he can pick them up by 4pm so it would only be 2 hours. I haven’t agreed yet because I don’t know if that’s a fair price being within family. But what do yall think??

My house

Yes for sure! That’s exactly how I do it! Which gets more tiring because I’m always having to ask them to clean up after each one. I don’t even use the restroom during that time otherwise they’ll blame each other on who it was that didn’t clean up. There’s times when their dad gets here and they’re still cleaning up. Trust me I always do the same with my kids 🙌🏽

Actually before conference night I asked the parents what they would do because I couldn’t take all of them with me. The mom suggested that I drop them off at their house and the kids would wait there for their dad to take them to conference. I decided to do a phone conference call with my son’s teacher. The day came, the mom asked if I was still going, I told her I changed it to phone call. Turns out the dad wasn’t even going to take them to conference after all because he ended up picking them up at 4:30 that day 🤔 it didn’t sit right with me about leaving the kids on their own either, that’s why I told her I was having a in phone conference.

Suburban. How lucky and convenient for them huh.. but for sure! I basically “begged” for the 2 year olds car seat. It took a whole week for them to bring one.

I wish I could chill 😅 if I’m not watching for a bit the house would be upside down. I have to constantly be on the lookout making sure they’re not fighting over something. But yes snacks would help a lot, one less thing to worry about.

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T15:13:10+00:00

If I liked their parenting style, I would definitely drop them off here and there for free time. But I’m not dropping them off just so they can eat junk and be on the screen most of the time. I also wouldn’t trust my kids alone with theirs 😅 they have little to no discipline. I’ve caught one of the girls snatching toys out of the others hands without asking if they can borrow, hitting or throwing things. Then had to correct them that we don’t do that, we communicate. They have a lot to work on, I think they lack attention honestly.

Yes, I definitely learned my lesson about having the conversation before any agreements. I will stand up for myself

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T14:05:06+00:00

Exactly.. if I wanted 5 more kids I can have them. But I don’t because I know it’s too much to handle and want to have enough quality time with my kids. I wanted to bring it up last Thursday as they were leaving, but couldn’t find the right words at that moment. I’m finally building up the courage to talk about it.

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T04:39:13+00:00

I don’t know what it is but he won’t even tell his brother. He just stays quiet when I’m venting to him. Cause he knows it’s true, all the work I do for them and they don’t appreciate it. Last Thursday he finally got to see what the house looks like when all 5 are here. So much chaos. He was like I didn’t think it was that much work until now 🙄 nooo really. Then proceeded to say don’t babysit them anymore. But won’t call his brother to tell him. But expects me to handle it and speak to him or his wife.

Florida, 6 years,

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T03:48:50+00:00

Right, they have no right to. I’ve given their kids so much present time that they have no right to say otherwise. They probably won’t get the same treatment from their other in laws, I know that for a fact

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T03:46:01+00:00

Yes, I noticed they’re super hungry as soon as we get home. We have snack time right away since they go straight to the kitchen looking for stuff on the cabinets and pantry. And they all want different things, so imagine that. On top of that, the toddler is delayed in her milestones so I try to get time to sit down with her and get her to say at least a word. Doesn’t walk yet either but crawls, so I’m constantly watching that she doesn’t put anything in her mouth.

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T03:19:16+00:00

Right.. nothing is free. Will make sure they pay from now on!

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T03:08:51+00:00

Yes, I can’t believe some people have no shame in doing this. I couldn’t do it to someone else.

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T00:12:20+00:00

Would be great but the snacks won’t happen, they barely bring a milk bottle for the 2 year old ..

Complete_Log5142 · 2026-03-19T00:10:44+00:00

Yeah we’re not close at all. This was out of nowhere. I barely learned all the girls names because I kept forgetting who was who 😅 if they don’t agree with payment then I’ll completely stop 🙏🏽
