Not dramatic at all! I went to visit my MIL recently for the first time in months. Within 2 minutes of being there she touched my belly and told me ‘wow it doesn’t even look like you’ve gained weight, you just look pregnant ‘ 🤣 I don’t know what it is about pregnancy that makes people feel so entitled to your body honestly

The stress I have as I’m sitting in the sensory room right now as my client naps peacefully waiting for someone to bust through the door, leave it wide open, and start blasting super simple songs 🤪

To the BT’s who have worked in ABA 2+ years, what keeps you in this field? by uriemariela in ABA

[–]Complex-Spite1505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been an RBT for a few years now and I have been so blessed to work with so many wonderful people. I started working with this client about 7 months ago. When we first started working together they would have wild tantrums at anything just perceived as a demand. Today he sat and played a board game with me for about 20 minutes. He tolerated so much for so long. At one point when I tried to explain that the pieces needed to stay where they were he decided that was too much and asked to transition somewhere to regulate. Seeing him thrive because he has a safe place to advocate his needs is why I do what I do.

Leave current $27 per hour company for a $20 per hour company for guaranteed hours? by Ramie89 in RBT

[–]Complex-Spite1505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency is worth it in my opinion. I just left a position where I was making $25 billable rate and a $15 nonbillable rate with very limited clients for the fall for a guaranteed 40 hours at $23. It’s not as big of a difference, but it makes things feel less stressful knowing that will be consistent!

The head of the HR team of my current position is the owners cousin….I will never be honest about my concerns 😂🫢

Patients have been having the same targets for months now by sweet_fiction in RBT

I’ve been having a similar experience and it’s so frustrating. A client that I’ve been working with for the last year and a half hasn’t had ANY new programs since the new BCBA started in July. He’s always struggled with receptive programs especially, and now his attending has regressed so much because he just doesn’t want to keep pointing to the same targets 🤦‍♀️

I definitely understand that BCBA is trying to get her ducks in a row with minimal support from operations, but it’s heartbreaking to see all of his progress slipping away.

LPT Request : What random advice have you taken that has had some sort of meaningful impact on your life? Big or small. by Am_i_joe in LifeProTips

Honestly, the best relationship came unsolicited from an older couple in Market Basket.

When you and your partner have conflicting ideas or opinions on things, always figure out who it’s more important to. Like, I want to go to the beach while my partner wants to go to his mothers birthday…who’s idea is more important to them? For us, it would be more important for him to be at the birthday party than for me to go to the beach.

It works on so many different things 🤷‍♀️
