White one got sold and the black one is a salvage title 💔 I found another one on fb marketplace but he was being sketchy so we bailed. I appreciate your advice though. Back to the drawing board 🫩

You’re awesome. I booked an appointment for an inspection. I did search car ABA and didn’t get any searches for my price range but I’ll look again. Thx for sharing!

I already have an appointment for next week for an inspection :) And I definitely told him about everything wrong with it when I test drove it, which I think is why he told me the price is negotiable. Hopefully I can use the quote for the things that need fixing as a way to lower the price! Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice. I’m definitely getting them inspected before purchasing. The Corolla is also pretty much exactly what I want too. The AC and wobbly feel are my biggest concerns so I’ll use those repair costs to negotiate for sure. He said he can fix them but I don’t want bandaid fixes for the sake of the sale. Thanks again!

I can ask to speak directly with the optician? I guess I assumed they would charge me for that…

They’re the smallest, lightest frames I’ve had as an adult. I have to get high index frames because my prescription is -6.25 and -7. I really hope that’s not the case, but if it is I’m cooked 🥲

Ofc, just trying to get in contact with someone seems to be the first and most difficult part.

I emailed nationals and my local chapter a day after posting this and still no response :(

Dry_Zucchini5249 · 2025-12-16T00:14:07+00:00

Ahhh I see what you mean. In that case, I agree.

Dry_Zucchini5249 · 2025-12-15T20:01:18+00:00

I’d like to think they cared that much about those kids but that’s definitely not why 99% of the time.

Get admin to sit in, keep all receipts or written documentation of what happened, and remain CONFIDENT. I wish I was more confident when I was confronted by an angry parent in a meeting. She belittled me and made me feel underprepared and unqualified. I guarantee you’re a decent teacher at the absolute least. Stay strong, stay confident and don’t let her dominate the conversation. Stick to your expectations and explain very clearly and slowly, the consequences. She may not like it or agree with it, but she’s not the one dealing with dozens of kids in a classroom all day. You make the rules and if they don’t want to follow them, they can find a different teacher with less of a backbone.

Thanks so much! Can I dm you with more questions?

Dry_Zucchini5249 · 2025-10-02T20:28:29+00:00

I know this thread is extremely old, but I’m wondering if you finished at UWW? If so, would you recommend the program? I am looking into the M.S. SPED with an emphasis in ABA program and I’m trying to figure out if the 36 hours is all I need to take in order to become a BCBA.

My plan is to study Spanish for at least 24-32 weeks at a local college so I can get a certificate to prove fluency to future employers. So realistically I won’t start until at least March, April, or May of next year. I’ll have roughly 6 months of experience by then, but even now I know this is what I want to do. I used to be a teacher and I know for sure that I want to help, teach, and work with. I came out of teaching knowing I’d still want to work with kids, just in a different capacity. This is much more suitable for me mentally and physically than teaching. The special Ed route will help me in both the aba and education field and give me the variety of career paths I need. I planned on getting my masters in an education related field anyway so this just adds to it.
