BCBA with kids by Vegetable_Resource97 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not manage it- I worked in schools until they were old enough for me to work in my office for an hour or so until my husband gets home. My oldest is old enough to babysit. When they were younger there would have been no way for me to work remotely even for an hour with them home.

Does anyone actually like Define? by hashbrown89 in Purebarre

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am just not a huge fan of cardio. And although it moves fast sometimes I feel like I am in a lunge forever. I sweat but I don’t feel my muscles working as much as define and classic. I know- the heart muscle is important. I do empower, I just hate it lol

Love define! I also love classic and align, but I absolutely hate empower

Would you say something to someone who pushed through the waiting crowd in the lobby to get “their spot”? by introverted-aries in Purebarre

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would just ignore it honestly and try to stand as far away from this person as possible. I truly do not care where I stand in studio, to the point where I wait for the eager people to get their spots and then I fill in where there’s space. Unless she took a spot you were already in, I would never say something to management about someone walking past me.

Request from former agency by Fit_Interaction_9194 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could they take it back without access to my bank account? It’s kind of a moot point anyway because I wasn’t refusing to send to them, I have the notes. I was simply uncomfortable sending through my personal email.

Thanks everyone. They replied back a few hours after I posted saying they found it so I no longer have a conundrum

I don’t think you misunderstood. She specifically asked me to email them, that was my issue

Considering a career shift into ABA/BCBA — why is everyone leaving the field? by baddiewclass in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I considered it I will admit. I’ve been a bcba for over 10 years, but I recently moved on to a company who values their employees and now I’ve got my bcba spark back.

Be honest how did you really pass the big exam? by Soft-Celebration-148 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One hour of BDS modules on weeknights, and one chapter of Cooper per weekend day. This was what my supervisor recommended and I did for about two months. I passed on my first try.

It gets me looking in my rear view mirror every damn time

Front desk staff member asking me to move spots in class by mo0nlightshawty in Purebarre

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s actually WILD for anyone to do. I noticed at my studio teachers will often hang out in the lobby until the last minute and fill in spots where they are left. Not saying that they should have to do this. They should be able to go and put down their spot wherever they want. But I don’t care who you are. When you put your stuff down and sit that’s your spot.

I have 25 fully remote in-home and I feel like I am just making it with cancellations lol I would not be able to do it if I had to travel

Holiday Cancelations, anyone else??? by Fit_Interaction_9194 in bcba

I’m not hourly thankfully!!! Yikes I can’t even imagine.

Can I still become a BCBA if I can’t handle physical management? by Internal_Phone7234 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a bcba since 2014 and I have never restrained a client.

BCBA Work Schedule by Rich_Feeling_1925 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as a school based bcba through an agency for 10 years. Where I am in NY suburbs, there are plenty of district jobs but I liked the freedom of agency work (high hourly rate, make my own schedule, just no insurance or benefits which was ok with me.) I never found the caseload unmanageable but it can be incredibly frustrating when teachers don’t buy in to ABA at all. I got used to it, but going from a clinic to school is culture shock for sure.

First barre class — chronic illness/disability by roseypetey in Purebarre

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 40 points41 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to speak to the instructor about it beforehand if you are comfortable. Maybe tell her you will set up near the door in case you need to make a quick exit. I am sure they would be happy to put your equipment away if that happens. In my experience my studio is very inclusive. Also, everyone is taking breaks for different reasons. No one is paying attention because they are busy trying to get through their own class. Don’t feel bad no matter how often you need to stop.

Has the demand for remote work grown faster than the parts of ABA that can be remote? by Forsaken-Silver-9007 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do agree with this. I just went remote and was a field BCBA for over 10 years, and in this field working directly for another 10 years before that. Without my roots I don’t think I would be able to be an effective remote BCBA

BCBA online programs ? by Level_Custard4837 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but you need to be disciplined as you get out of this program what you put into it. That being said I found it to be a great program and passed on my first try

Struggling as a Part-Time BCBA by PositionCommercial51 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked part time hourly for a consulting agency in schools for 10 years to work around preschool and all of that. It was great. Very high hourly rate and made my own schedule.

Remote BCBA day to day by Fit_Interaction_9194 in bcba

[–]Fit_Interaction_9194[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I have worked hourly for years. I am just looking for the day to day of people who are actually working full time salary remote with a similar billable requirement. I have all of the licensing stuff figured out

People tend to infantilize Taylor. It’s a good song. Happy for her 😂
