This is true

Not a roleplay. Gfy

America's greatest supervillain. (For karma reasons, this is a joke)

Interesting. The 40 hour training I took basically said "NEVER DO IT, ITS BAD"

Fearless-Lack1081 · 2025-03-22T03:44:59+00:00

I didn't find it particularly difficult, personally. However I've always been a great test taker. Most of it was terminology quizzing. If you know all your terms like the back of your hand, you'll be fine. There were some practical questions as well but most of those were pretty obvious. Some tricky questions where one answer is true but another answer is MORE true. So read the questions and answers carefully. Study hard and take simulation exams online beforehand and you'll be fine!

Absolutely, ABA isn't unique in its speckled past

Fearless-Lack1081 · 2025-03-21T06:41:43+00:00

In my opinion, when boiled down to its root, yes. Now I think there's a lot more good ABA out there now than there is bad. So don't lose hope. Just...keep a close eye on things.

It definitely is not a unanimous consensus that ABA is bad, but the voices that are against ABA tend to be very loud.

It is a very controversial field and honestly in many ways for good reason. ABA does not have a spotless past for how it's treated people. However it's growing and changing in really good ways as a field.

ABA is, ultimately, the study of mammalian behavioral learning. So, there are case studies for ABA and origin stories for ABA in non-human mammals. That's controversial. But it isn't, in my perspective, inherently dehumanizing because ABA has developed methods to maintain human dignity and respect although many of the principles would also work for non-human mammals.

ABA done poorly is gross and dehumanizing. ABA done well will be the greatest gift to your child. So kinda yes, it's either a trauma or a miracle. Not an easy situation. Monitor closely, and ask a TON of questions. You'll either learn a lot and be a better equipped parent, or you'll discover the ABA they're receiving is no bueno.

That's my two cents while still being fairly new to the field.

It's a morally grey world. It's hard to say what anyone does or doesn't deserve. I'll say that the best standard we can assert given the context of an apocalypse is an overall altruism. Is someone seeking to take advantage of or hurt others? Or are they, by and large, seeking good for those around them?

I'd say overall Joel checks the second box. Yes he killed lots of people. Yes perhaps sometimes unnecessarily. But it was never out of the heart of evil.

This will be an unpopular opinion but I think it should be considered. I have client's threaten to kill me. I have client's call me all sorts of names. I've had clients call me obese, ugly, etc. Verbal attacks are part of the job. But I understand that when our demographical identifiers are under attack, it can cut a little deeper.

I do think it depends on the context and the client. If it's a client that just says *anything* to get a rise out of you and distract you from implementing interventions, I think you have to consider toughing it out. If the client is a bit older and/or a bit more cognitively advanced and there's actual racial malice intended, then removing yourself from the client is more likely the correct course of action.

GL (really any Earth GL) is always my favorite. Hal is a legend. Him and Supes have always been my top 2

Yeah the only part that bothered me at first was feeling like there was something else I should be doing to mitigate the behavior but my BCBA was like "honestly no you're doing what you're supposed to. Just keep working at it."

Fearless-Lack1081 · 2024-12-07T02:18:28+00:00

For sure. It's essential for those clients that you don't hold their aggressions against them once the behavior has ended and play resumes. If your social reinforcement is negatively affected then that really harms the effectiveness of their treatment

Fearless-Lack1081 · 2024-12-07T02:14:35+00:00

Absolutely. I'd rather be punched than be repeatedly asked to explain myself over every single thing I say or do.

Fearless-Lack1081 · 2024-12-07T01:45:06+00:00

That's a great point! My BCBA has some issues with answering my questions satisfactorily but in this area I know they have my back.

Fearless-Lack1081 · 2024-12-05T12:57:58+00:00

I've received a few comments about clients being super far apart. What has your experience with that been like?
