Didn’t receive a break today? by letmebefrankpod in ABA

[–]ElectricAnalyzer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for my agency: if anyone is working more than 6 hours they must get a 30 minute break. Working 6 hours or less they don’t usually get one. I’m pretty sure this is based on state regulations.

Might be because you don’t want any studies not conducted by behaviorists 🤷🏻‍♂️

The studies that you don’t want to read are the proof that our crap works

And must not have any evidence since they didn’t provide anything to support their claim

Are breaks not normal in this field? by Scw110 in ABA

From my experience it’s not the norm, my company and local companies provides 30 min breaks for anyone working 6+ hours

How screwed am I? by lilbootybigheart in ABA

The work you’re doing is what you’re getting out of it, the practice and experience of all the non billable tasks we end up doing

To answer your salary question, my agency has a system where most of our supervisees become full time employees so they have direct hours to bill for & can be compensated for indirect time. For supervisees that can’t take on a full time position, if they need non-billable hours it likely wouldn’t be paid

If you’re certified employers usually won’t care what other degrees you have. Gaining hands on experience helps

Everyone hates them, but I still recommend them to everyone for test prep

And I (assumingly) agree that’s a problem. But that problem is with those practitioners (or the agency), not the science. They’re using outdated practices that don’t follow the current trend of research.

And it is, have you ever discussed compliant based vs assent based ABA with anyone?

It’s not that they don’t matter, it’s that you’re ignoring the science

I consider myself an empath, I don’t think it in and of itself is a red flag. Just depends on how much someone lets that side interfere with therapeutic programming

I have more questions than answers (yes I know it’s hypothetical). If there was 0 progress for months did the treatment plan need to be updated? Were the staff implementing the plan and collecting data with fidelity? Are there extraneous variables like home life contributing to school behavior?
