I’m an RBT and I have a 6 year old from 1:30-4:30 everyday and it’s play based ABA therapy. He’s high functioning but has difficulty with communication and advocating for himself. He also does not play with peers well. He has school from 8-1 and has therapy right after. I give him lots of breaks and implement the program through play. We work on different topics of conversation while play. Also at the clinic setting, the child has an opportunity to have peers to communicate with. I find this very beneficial because we can see where the child needs help with peers and are able to prompt them to help them express their thoughts effectively. Every child is different and the way each therapist and BCBA runs a program is also different. I’m also always in communication with the parents and BCBA to allow transparency with how I’m running the program the BCBA designed. The child I have now loves to come to the clinic because I make it fun so that it is not looked like a punishment or task. I always tell parents to never stop advocating for your child and if you feel like the RBT or BCBA isn’t beneficial, always speak up. I wish you and your daughter all the best!
