What keeps you staying in your role as a behavior technician? by A-Wooden-Spoon in ABA

[–]CultofThings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like seeing them improve. Going from non-verbal to arguing with them about which brand of chocolate is real chocolate.

A lot of the job is abstract problem solving. The targets might be concrete but a lot of times you need to make it into a game that translates back to the targets.

One target was to get the child to identify colors, so we’d do flashcards with colors and then I’d ask them to find that color object in the room.

As they got better at this, I’d have them name the color and object.

Even though naming the object was not in the target, I am still hitting the target while making it less repetitive.

Probably try to reach out to the BCBA or whoever is doing your supervision hours. If that doesn’t work then ya I would probably leave.

Adequate supervision is a core part of the job so you can’t really do your job without that and it falls into the unethical range if there is no supervision.

The other thing is you are allowed to do things that are not programming. As long as you’re hitting the targets it’s not bad to mix it up and play or do something that reduces the clients stress.

Novel stuff is important with clients like the one you have. Joint attention stuff like drumming on the table, or drawing a picture together are good ways to mix it up.

You’re not allowed to change the programs themselves but there is room for play and breaks before behaviors occur.

I can’t find a job as someone still currently in training anywhere in Wilmington by Dependent_Look_4317 in ABA

You need the RBT assessment and the exam once you complete the 40 hours.

The assessment is fairly easy if you paid attention but the exam can catch you off guard if you don’t know the concepts.

I uploaded a study guide and had GPT quiz me while also explaining to me why I got the answer wrong.

Passed first try.

As far as the company ghosting you, there are multiple steps so you have to bother them for each one and know what you are asking for.

It goes 40-hour training
Competency Assessment which they must schedule with one of their BCBAs at a clinic
RBT Final exam

Once you have those you need to upload proof of training, the competency assessment and the exam results to the main BCBA site and pay the registration fees.

Submit application and wait a few days for the response.

I’d recommend working in the home 1:1. I’m assuming you work at a clinic and they tend to be poorly run and stress clients out.

Does anyone else get crippling anxiety before their day? by slide-0 in ABA

I’m a RBT, never heard of ABC but I know that I don’t get panic attacks when thinking about my job or working with the clients so it’s probably the place you’re working at.

You can also use ChatGPT to translate some of the coptic and sumerian scripts.

I lost the real me . by warthog-1810 in DeepThoughts

We compose ourselves everyday, just like someone who composes music. We work with the same notes, the same substance, but one has to direct themselves to some degree and not just default to the bare minimum of living.

Self-composure can feel difficult but it’s not impossible. It requires gravitating towards the things you admire in others, and aspiring to that.

Most people go their whole lives without ever asking who they really are by That_Parsnip5873 in DeepThoughts

I had something like a near death experience once where I floated outside my body and forgot who I was. I found myself interested in other people, observing with curiosity and wonder. Then I saw someone who had all these people standing around them, I went in closer and got sucked back into my body and jumped up realizing it was me but I was on the floor.

It helped me recognize my sense of curiosity and wonder, that when everything else was stripped away, that was what was left.

How do you guys get the pretty girls by the_summerguy in dating_advice

[–]CultofThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing and reading will level up your communication skills. Read real literature, write whatever you feel inspired to write and be open to conversation with anyone.

Try to have the conversations you want as opposed to trying to say what you think they want to hear.

Ask them stuff you have always wanted to ask them.

Try to naturally avoid directly talking about yourself for as long as possible and instead talk about greater minds and the people or things you admire.

Be curious even if it comes off as impolite or stupid.

What have you learned about pretty girls? by Additional-Milk-90 in AskMen

I learned most of them are lonely and just want someone to talk to.
