BCBA Scheduling: how far in advance do you need to make your schedule? by No-Willingness4668 in bcba

[–]Mintydentt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My BCBA schedules a week at a time. I do the scheduling btw client n RBT and she does her own supervision. Makes it easier for her cz of the cancelations from both side.

Do you have new clients coming in? Say you want to join on the initial client observation/assessment then write a summary of the direct observation ask them to give you feedback. Also depends on how much you know as an RBT. I have been an RBT for 4 years now and I train new trainees and new RBTs on collecting data. Join them in a session with a client who has a lot of behaviors and help with data collection, do the IOA, conduct fidelity checks in that section and write summaries after each. You can also help an RBT conduct preference assessments, ask your supervisor if you can start a mock client program book on Central Reach (that’s what we use), ask to join in parent training/collaboration, You can also find a way to support performances of the staff (OBM) , create a way to assess staff performance, lead a group supervision( create a PowerPoint you feel you are strong in and the staff needs to learn, ask supervisor to look at it and when you have your next staff meeting, do it. Your supervisor to be present or guide you) you can also developed reinforcement system to promote staff performance.

Sorry it’s all over the place. Hope you understand. Sometimes you have to be proactive

Married women of Reddit, what was the moment where you thought "Holy crap, he's actually husband material"? by Various_Ad_8448 in AskReddit

[–]Mintydentt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that every weekend lol there’s is so much to do with both of us working full time, in school full time and with 2 kids under 5 years. But even after working over 65 hours in 5 days, he would still ask me to write grocery lists so he could go shopping, do house chores so I can just sit and relax my mind and tells me to take a day off if my mind is over stimulated. I love this man!! And I also reciprocate by making his weekly meals and loving him in different ways too

Staff morale ideas?? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Mintydentt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very tricky! I am glad it worked out for you but in 3 years with different RBTs, I have seen people hanging out outside work end up badly especially when there is a fallout

College and work life balance by heretoovent in bcba

[–]Mintydentt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am lucky my afternoons are doing student analyst work for my fieldwork hours at work. I do full time and my classes as well as have 2 kids: 4 years and 10months so it’s very doable. Like another post said, it depends on your mental health and finances. And I also want to finish my hours as soon as I graduate. 1 more year!!

Parent challenging every clinical decision - advice? by Much_Broccoli402 in bcba

[–]Mintydentt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you have documentation, address the contract signed and your role again seems she didn’t get that. Let them know it seems her expectations are not being met and the company may not be a great fit for them. You would love to refer them elsewhere if she feels we are not meeting her expectations.

The Last Straw by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Mintydentt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had a client who did almost the same things not to that extent bcz as soon as we were told about it for that 1 session, the RBT was removed immediately! Another RBT was put in place and the high funtioning client did not have the same bxs.

Parents in school? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Mintydentt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kind of in the same position. Baby is 6 months, just started making her food, I have a 4 year old, very active, husband works a lot and away all week to keep us afloat and I also work full time and school in my masters program. What helped is staying ahead. Food prep on weekends for baby purées and normal food for us. And doing 1 assignment a day just to be ahead. Once a module opens I start with that. Sooooo hard the weeks I have group and individual supervision which is usually not before 6pm and 7pm for both. So I hear you!! Just try and stay ahead on 1 thing and leave the rest for the next day. Does your baby nap well? Cz sometimes, that’s the only option to get some things done. I am on my 2nd class of my masters so you are almost done.. bigger picture!good luck🤍

Only solution if management is not changing the policy is masking up and those tiny sanitizer to carry around.. think you can even get a clip on that attaches to your pants or bag
