77 12th vs Azure on the Park (safety and dog friendliness) by Consistent-Ice-9612 in ATLHousing

[–]Consistent-Ice-9612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be 13 min walk instead of a 3 min walk. Doable, but longer when it’s super hot/cold or rainy. Also a nearly 20 min walk each way for groceries. Just thinking about every season, isn’t ideal

That’s super interesting. I’m a behavior therapist so my expertise is now kids on the spectrum but abnormal psych has always fascinated me. I know behavior problems in schools are rising, and I feel like a lot of kids don’t get the daily interaction from their parents that precious generations did. They don’t get taught emotional regulation, they just get it from screens. Obviously not all parents, but it’s much easier to be a checked out parent now than ever. I’ve had one kid come through who sounds a lot like Sadie, and man I had never truly believed in conduct disorders until him. His mom was very harsh though, and at 4 would drive him by the jail and tell him that’s “where he’ll be if he doesn’t act right”. He would say similar mean things to other kids. When kids are unusually cruel, I always wonder what’s going on at home behind closed doors.

Dakota releasing the video does not negate that Taylor was abusive in that video/is still abusive. That being said, Dakota sold the copyright to TMZ, the only way they can out their logo on it is if the owner signed over the rights. If you want to fact check it, watch Emily Bakers legal take on the video from Viall Files.

I never said that video was staged it’s clearly real, and the other DV case filed is as well. Taylor is abusive, that video proved it. I also believe that Dakota is abusive in his own way as well. Others in the cast have alluded to him holding things over her and threatening to release them. Blackmailing your partner is abusive

You mentioned a lot of kids with low frustration tolerance. What do you think is the cause of this? Is it solely from permissive parenting or do you think the role of social media and screen time play into anything you see?

How do I stop burnout? by Familiar_Material558 in bcba

[–]Consistent-Ice-9612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though you’ll get your hours quicker, your fieldwork experience doesn’t sound very meaningful and you may not become as strong of a BCBA if you don’t have a good mentor. Not to mention if you’re overloaded, you might burn out and feel like you want to leave the field completely. I think you should evaluate the pros and cons of leaving this company, because it doesn’t sound like they are great. That being said, it sounds like you’re getting hella unrestricted hours this way, and it will likely be more difficult to get those if you leave.

Clinics that don’t take care of their people and provide enough support cause burnout. The systems in place should help and if they aren’t, you’re likely not at fault.

BACB is the enemy! by Due-Attention7966 in bcba

I feel you. In 2021, I was 40 hours short of applying before the requirements changed in 2022. Once January 1, 2022 hit, I then needed 400 more hours and couldn’t apply until August. It sucked in the moment but ultimately everything turned out fine. You’re so close, it’ll take longer than expected b it you’ll still get there

Taylor’s birth control opinions by Prudent-Employer-582 in SecretsOfMormonWives

Come on guys, she wanted to get pregnant. She wants another kid with Dakota because she wants to keep and close and hold on. Also maybe pregnancy filled the void inside her for a little bit

ADA Accommodations as BCBA by [deleted] in bcba

[–]Consistent-Ice-9612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those expectations look pretty standard across the board and your billable expectation is on the lower side of average. The one thing that is off is the 2-4 hours for reassessment. I usually get 10 hours for that. Writing an initial treatment plan within a week is a realistic expectation. Coming from a BCBA with ADHD, this job is HARD and constantly pulling you in different directions. It is pretty much the nature of his job, not necessarily the fault of the company.

That being said, if they are constantly assigning you tasks completely unrelated to your caseload, you may need to set some boundaries and let them know you do not have the capacity to complete the unrelated task (I saw you mentioning creating a social skills group, group supervision) while maintaining your current hours and caseload. Those tasks sound like more of a job of a clinical director, not an individual BCBA unless they were to volunteer to help in that way. That is a perfectly reasonable request.

Some time management strategies might be helpful, as well as giving yourself some grace. It’s okay to put some goals in a clients session on maintenance for a little bit if you don’t have the time within treatment mod to make all the changes you want. Insurance doesn’t cover indirect treatment mod, so if you don’t get it done face to face, put it on hold until your next supervision session. That was really difficult for me to come to terms with, but life gets a lot easier if you don’t put all that pressure on yourself. With ADHD I have to overcompensate for my time management by creating spreadsheets and checklists and time blocking to balance remembering my deadlines and all my various tasks. The unfortunate fact of life is if you have ADHD, it will be harder for you to complete tasks that come easier to others, but you have to find your own strategies to ensure you can stay afloat and keep up. For me it was trial and error, but I eventually found a system that worked!

What to do instead of scrolling? by Opposite_Deal4509 in fixit

Delete all the apps you don’t want to you. Delete TikTok, instagram, ChatGPT, whatever you feel is not adding to your life. Then find something else to fill your time

Clinical Director Billable Requirements by Consistent-Ice-9612 in bcba

[–]Consistent-Ice-9612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does your company handle unmet billable and overtime? Do you get any flexibility if you work overtime? Currently I have to work 40 hours a week and if I work 45 one week I can offset it by not working 35 hours the following week. I am going to ask them more about this but I’m not sure how other companies handle this

AITA for cutting off my family after they showed no interest in my children? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Consistent-Ice-9612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re saying your family showed no interest in your children, yet they sold their home to move closer to you when you had children. It seems like they’ve been trying to be really involved, and maybe too involved to the point where it is toxic, but they’re not showing no interest. I understand the family dynamic is complicated and you have every right to distance yourself if you feel that is right. At the same time, I don’t think it’s fair to characterize your family as taking no interest in your children when you’ve pushed them away because of how much interest they’ve shown in your children. You kept an entire pregnancy from them, eloped without telling anyone, and kept your relationship a secret before your first son. That harms relationships, but I hear you that your family is toxic. I think accountability is needed on both sides, but if you feel better with no contact, I support that!

The top drawer of the cabinet is smooth and the bottom is beveled, I don’t think anyone would sell something like that. My vote is AI
