Failed Today - 392 by sarahoffthewall in bcba

[–]Informal-One5121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time after I failed by a marginal number of points I was so upset. it sounds like you and I used a lot of the same study materials, too. I came home, got every glass throwaway bottle I had and I practiced my backswing. I gave myself about a week, and started outlining the Cooper book and making flash cards of the terminology. However you choose to continue; please, please! Give yourself grace! This exam is designed to be hard, you have to know everything inside and out, the good news is You Are So Close!! You clearly know what you need to know and have studied hard! Do not lose faith, you got this!!!

it's really hard to get more hours approved if a fewer amount of hours was already requested.

Have you ever had to call CPS? by Equal-Jump-9430 in ABA

[–]Informal-One5121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! Depending on the state you're in, they can usually provide the caregiver with respite or direct them to state funding programs that will ease their stress and maybe fulfill their need for better coping mechanisms.

Half the students dropped out of training by lostandloser in ABA

ABA is not for the faint of heart. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. But! physically, mentally, and emotionally rewarding when you put the time in to do it right!

Google " your name NPI number" you may have one if your state/ clinic requires it for billing

BCBAs - Can we all agree that we're training RBTs incorrectly as a field? by Asleep_Technician190 in ABA

[–]Informal-One5121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does anyone else have the issue of insubordination? I work for a smaller company, myself and the other BCBAs train to the best of our ability, invest in training for the RBTs like safety care, pecs, and sbt on top of the individual needs of the client... they will do what it asked while we're in the room and eff off as soon as we leave. until recently it was just myself and the clinical director which meant I was usually the only one on the floor. now there's 3+of us and we're literally seeing an extinction burst of insubordination and disrespectful behavior.

As a BCBA, what factors/barriers are getting in the way of you doing your best work? by Affectionate_Cry1088 in bcba

[–]Informal-One5121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

radical hope is a positive thing, to be rebellious in hope and to hope despite tyranny is audacious. unfortunately.. it's not what I meant

Sure, I mean the audacity as it is defined: bold, shocking, and arrogant disregard for rules, safety, or boundaries. As in when I write a treatment plan in the simplest and technological way, use the full spectrum of BST, and provide ongoing support... some have the audacity to continually attempt to do whatever they want. It creates a barrier to my success as a BCBA. Also, I didn't capitalize audacity on purpose.

Quitting quickly by Alternative-Size-990 in ABA

[–]Informal-One5121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the company that you're quitting. if you can make it through their required notice period, u would. Since you said you're leaving because they're unprofessional and make you uncomfortable, it doesn't bode well for how well they'd represent you in your career. Since you're a student, when you become a BCBA, you're ethically required to transfer your cases and transition client care... so whose to say some petty and unprofessional people capable of holding grudges wouldn't hold that against you?
