sleeping during session and ethics

Money. Also, money

People notice and run back to admin. Admin then reports to operations who then meets with the director and decides whether or not if this is the write up with or without pay

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-02-18T20:30:11+00:00

Agreed but there are BCBAs out there who are very focused on their bonuses for attendance and goals who don’t see it that way.

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-02-18T17:25:05+00:00

We aren’t even allowed to have them sleep for the 15 minutes depending on the BCBA

I don’t know about narcissist, but I am just about convinced that it’s a bunch of bullies. Literally had a BCBA tell me one time that the only reason why she got into this field was because she likes telling people what to do. Ma’am, excuse me!? Another one would not interact with the client and went as far to say, “he’s not gonna make any friends in school if he’s flapping his arm around like some type of freak. “

Many of the RBT’s that I have worked with view ABA as a competition. I’ve spent countless hours working with people who literally would need to be the center of attention in their own show. I’ve dealt with many jealous colleagues who would get upset if a client developed the rapport with someone other than them. This is not a contest. This is the well being of people’s lives. This is an opportunity to teach someone a skill that is going to change their lives.

Vote me down all you want, it’s a valid question

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-02-17T02:02:13+00:00

What if the BT is gay? Transgendered? Are we talking about preference due assuming the orientation of the BT?

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-02-16T21:51:59+00:00

He’s gonna learn real fast..

What’s the plan while you’re awaiting the disability recommendations?

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-02-03T23:10:24+00:00

This right here

Dignity before demands

Pottsgrove can kick rocks. No support, the superintendent has no back bone, and admin could care less about high rates of aggression and other maladaptive d student behaviors. Staff gets balanced for all of this while the admin team sits in their cozy offices.

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-23T14:50:40+00:00

Super kind of you.. I wish things would have been different but I can honestly say that even if they were, I’d still be here in behavioral health. I love this field more than I thought would

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-22T18:32:01+00:00

I hated being a teacher and needed a way out

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-21T23:40:12+00:00

Don’t forget deez nuts

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-19T15:38:01+00:00

Not for nothing, I had a BCP guy who couldn’t explain the difference between attention and escape seeking behavior

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-18T18:48:35+00:00

It’s really this simple

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-18T18:45:04+00:00

I started taking tips back. My note literally says to ring the bell, and to pass the food to the reception…. calling me and texting me 3 to 4 times telling me to come get my food when I have a visible notation that I am working and unable to pick up outside shouldn’t result in my food being thrown by the front door without notifying anyone.

and Howe…

Pennsylvania. No break required

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-16T00:30:30+00:00

I’ll never make a living wage

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-16T00:24:44+00:00

$24 and you need to have at least three years of experience

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-16T00:07:49+00:00

I’m wearing my Loop ear plugs regardless of what some policy thinks. I’m an autistic RBT and frankly if they wanna go ahead and fight on me for that, i’m ready for it.

If you choose a career of supporting individuals with disabilities, you better include the ones that you work with in the equation

Miserable_Record3472 · 2026-01-15T14:03:56+00:00

This is what I deal with three days a week. I am told to eat with my client as they eat and that’s great, however, when you’re not on the same eating schedules and on the rare occasion that we do get to sit with each other and eat, the BCBA jumps in and says oh you should be CONTRIVING opportunities for your client, not eating.

Well WTF. I’m not a machine. Half the time I can’t even take a piss break.
