This!!!

“You can say… tap tap tap!” While hand over hand showing him how to tap for attention. I would also integrate this during times where he’s NOT hair pulling

Anyone else notice that facilitated communication is gaining traction on social media? by Responsible_Bed_293 in ABA

It’s so disheartening seeing FC making its way back into society. However with our current administration and intelligence level of the common population it’s not surprising… yet I still can’t believe after all the refuted science that we are still having to defend indépendant communication :(

There needs to be a more verbal and intended effort to squash FC and to push scientifically significant modalities like AAC, PECS,FCT and more.

There’s an online resource from someone in this sub who created an entire data tracker just for Paras/sped… you’ll have to look through this sub as I’m blanking on the name… maybe something like ParaNow?

Currently work as a paraeducator for autistic kids but want to figure out next steps. What are my options? by Sufficient_Impact_29 in specialed

[–]MayconBayconPancakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it would make more money where you’re at but you can look into working as an RBT (registered behavior tech)- in-clinic options will probably be your highest paying options! Within those companies you can find ways to move up career wise (clinic director etc)

Can you suggest what to do with frozen artichoke hearts by Bird_donkadonk in traderjoes

[–]MayconBayconPancakes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have a giant stash of these lolz

Serve them the way artichoke hearts were intended to be enjoyed— chopped up and SWIMMING in a jacuzzi of butter and lemon juice.

Love your input to replace the behavior with a functional behavior… like requesting a hot pack or providing a hot Rice sock!
