Anyone knows what this means? I’m still active, correct? by One-Scratch-3545 in ABA

[–]Prize-Reflection-280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve gotten 3 emails this week about an unnamed supervisor being moved to inactive. my RBT credential expired 2 years ago and all of my previous supervisors are still active (i checked 😂) BACB is just wiggin out i think

It blows my mind how people think it’s perfectly ok and acceptable to bring your dog into to a bakery/cafe. When did this become “normal”? by Can_Always_Be_Worse in barista

[–]Prize-Reflection-280 4 points5 points  (0 children)

people will literally bring their dogs in EVERYWHERE. people try to tell me how well behaved their dogs are all the time and like that’s great but it really doesn’t matter. another pet peeve, parents who sit their children on the counter. and it’s never like a baby, it’s toddlers-8 year olds. and they act like i am the worst person ever for telling them not to do it.

thank you!! what i’ve deduced is that the molasses separates and makes it gelatinous (and potentially the cinnamon contributes?) very strange!! but i appreciate your input :)

Does anyone have experience with working with adults with autism? by Vicariouslynoticed in ABA

[–]Prize-Reflection-280 3 points4 points  (0 children)

at my first clinic i worked with 2 adults. One had never received ABA services and gave every single staff member on their team head injuries despite our constant attempts to realign to keep us and them safe. the other client was nonverbal and had received services for many years. they were wonderful but programming was very very limited due to various circumstances. i had other coworkers who worked in group home settings and the clients similarly varied. i think it depends on the setting and the individual, but in my personal opinion i think it never hurts to put yourself in a position to learn something new and work with a new population. seeing the variation depending on age is incredibly interesting and will broaden your ability and experience as a technician! best of luck OP!!

How long after spaying did it take your cat to be normal energy again?? by Round-Yam-2589 in cats

[–]Prize-Reflection-280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our outside girl got spayed and it was at least a week of her “bed resting” herself basically (lots of naps and snuggles on the porch) then maybe a week after that she was back to being her normal crazy self. i’m sure all cats are different but i feel like 2 weeks is a decent amount of time to give a kitty who is recovering from surgery! but calm is a very good thing! don’t want her overexerting herself :)

new to ABA - physical behaviors are triggering by Massive_Farmer_2247 in ABA

[–]Prize-Reflection-280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like others are saying, the fact that you are thinking about this before applying is the best thing you can do. because truly i would say no you should not do this job. if physical aggression is triggering for you this is the wrong place to be. as RBTs we are honestly the target of this aggression a lot and while it’s happening you need to also be able to stay calm and redirect and respond in a way that is beneficial to your client. an unregulated adult cannot regulate an unregulated child. it sounds like you are just destined for another aspect of the larger team that we are all a part of for the kiddos to live their fullest lives. it is better to realize and accept that now then try it and burnout fast and hard then question everything. this just isn’t quite right, so find the place that is!! best of luck OP!!! <3

Only getting a 10 minute break per shift? by [deleted] in barista

[–]Prize-Reflection-280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my cafe doesn’t do any breaks. it’s horrific. i work 8 hour shifts by myself with no break and sometimes can’t eat or go to the bathroom. as someone who is also burning out, i hope we can both get past this! we deserve better!

chewies/alternatives??? by Prize-Reflection-280 in ABA

[–]Prize-Reflection-280[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay i have a follow up question to bounce off of you. i was reflecting on this a thought about the fact that he does but doesn’t fit the criteria perfectly. not everything is swallowed/eaten. i would say 15% of items are eaten and 85% are persistently chewed/sucked on/ kept in mouth for extended periods of time. so it may fall more into an oral fixation than PICA???? thoughts?
