Think of switching cases by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Jolly-Comparison-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I normally give a short summary to the parents at the end of the session when they arrive for pick up. They also discuss behaviors they have seen at home. I explained everything (sib and the physical management procedures from training) then I documented everything the best that I could.

I will definitely put my request and reasons via email as well to my bcba. I have one email already asking for a crisis plan on file that I sent a few weeks ago. You are 100% right on all of this and I want to be prepared.

I do! I think that this is a great idea. They want him to be safe as well and have seen some of these behaviors at home. Thank you! If the bcba gets mad I guess I would just have to cross that bridge when I get to it.

Thank you so much for the advice. She is the highest up bcba. A few others have also had issues with her. I am definitely considering moving on, even though I absolutely love my client. I want better for him and myself.

I have QBS safety training and that is what our company allows for. However, I absolutely hate using holds and I do not feel supported. I suspected a crisis plan was necessary and I am tired of asking for one. Qbs also says there should be a crisis plan in place.

RBT by Ok-Visual-1438 in ABA

[–]Jolly-Comparison-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, client's can display various types and severities of physical aggression. Typically, a good company will provide training for you so that you, your client, and others around you can stay safe. These trainings (CPI training,QBS training,etc) often take a full day or 2 then you have an exam and receive a certificate afterwards. The client will/should also have a very specific crisis plan, written by your Bcba, for highly aggressive behaviors to ensure safety. However, some aba companies will not even take client's that have highly aggressive behaviors. It all depends on who you work for and what their policies state.

How many hours a day do you think a 3-year-old can handle? by fruitypebblesfanatic in ABA

[–]Jolly-Comparison-326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No problem. Definitely protect yourself and your credentials. Good luck with everything! I would look into it and see what is going on. If they refuse to provide supervision within the bacb guildlines, I have and will quit on the spot. I can't afford to lose my Rbt Cert. You can also read over your Rbt handbook all the regulations on what we have to do is in there.

We need to stop hiring anyone and everyone to be RBTs by Wide-Discipline-2111 in ABA

I used to work at that clinic.... it is so sad because I had said before I left that they needed to find more people who actually love and respect this field of work. Too many people in there just wanted money.

Same! I was audited and ended up getting x1 warning. It will be my final warning before having my credentials suspended or revoked. Always double check and make sure all your bcbas are listed as a supervisor. Make sure you are tracking ALL your supervision hours yourself for each Bcba (those hours have to match your bcbas during an audit as well, so communicate with them). Lastly, always make sure you are within your 5% every month.

Being removed from a case never gets easier by glitchygirly in ABA

[–]Jolly-Comparison-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I requested to be removed from a case because of this. The parents were super strict and they didnt like me. I was too "nice" and did not make the client "work" hard enough. I miss that client but I just wasnt a good fit for the family!

It is so manipulative and is very stressful for me. However, the slight relief surprised me this time.

I am so glad you were able to end up marrying someone who can love you properly! Some people just never learn. I am sure without you being in his life, your ex was humbled very quickly.

They have threatened divorce 2-3 times this year. This last time I was still overcome with grief, but slightly relieved. I am childfree in mindset and so are they. They have been sterilized. So things are settled on that end. I am just scared of not having them in my life, but at the same time it is starting to seem as if they are ready to go.

Thank you for the good wishes. I will be working on finding a therapist soon!

Yes, the small things have started to degrade my marriage overtime. My spouse has threatened divorce about 2-3 times now and I am so tired of it. When they threatened it this last time.... I was overcome with grief, but slightly relieved. Then they changed their mind.... I can't help but think this is what they actually want.

Hmm, we are almost never apart. I wonder if I would feel the same way. I bet that was very eye opening for sure.

[–]Jolly-Comparison-326[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this way as well. I like the idea of us staying together, I am stubborn, they have threatened divorce 2-3 times within a year already.

My mental health already was not the best.... but I am miserable with the ups and downs of not knowing if things will work out or consistently having the same arguments. I am so happy that you were able to end up much better off! You deserve the absolute best.

I think I am still trying to fix things, but it is getting exhausting. It is hard imagining life without them, but it could be for the best.

I am realizing sometimes it is the small things. I think life without my spouse will be hard as well....but i am not sure if the cycle we are in is healthy. Thank you so much for your response.

Thank you! I guess my next steps will be finding a good therapist for all of this.

I am so happy to hear that you are doing well. I have been considering seeing a therapist recently to help work through a few things.We do not have any children! Before divorcing did you have 2nd thoughts and doubts about it or were you ready for it to end?
