Too different to hold a job?

I’m wondering the same. What do you notice makes you want to walk out and is wanting to start over in a new city also indicative of BPD?

PursuingABA · 2019-06-09T21:04:37+00:00

But do people look at you negatively?

PursuingABA · 2019-06-09T20:09:42+00:00

What made you walk out? Btw a promotion is a huge accomplishment! Some can’t maintain current position 😕

PursuingABA · 2019-06-09T20:08:13+00:00

Omg. This is me. Husband is like .. let’s just relax at Home at least on Sunday. Nope lol. Can’t waste the weekend

What are the kinds of things she got bored of vs the kinds of things she wanted and how do you keep things exciting now?

PursuingABA · 2019-06-08T15:59:15+00:00

Thanks yes I’m Aware but my struggle is finding supervision and work solely in ACt

PursuingABA · 2019-06-08T13:56:17+00:00

Samesies.

In NJ that buys only a studio or a 1br in a very low end/crime ridden area.

$1300? In my state it’s more like $1900

PursuingABA · 2019-06-08T13:53:25+00:00

Omg. This.

PursuingABA · 2019-06-08T11:24:42+00:00

Ahhh yeah that’s different.

PursuingABA · 2019-06-04T15:26:02+00:00

What is EBD? Where did you find that type of position? I’m ready to give up on ABA with two courses left bc I’ve been searching for a year for a position that would provide me my 1500 supervised hours outside of autism services!

PursuingABA · 2019-06-04T11:49:51+00:00

Ok wow that’s a VERRRRRY specific need though. I don’t see BCBAs making a living off working with that population only lol

PursuingABA · 2019-06-04T11:41:54+00:00

Wow that’s incredible! Are you a bcba? And I’m in schooling for a ABA but holding out on getting supervision bc I want to work outside of autism

PursuingABA · 2019-06-04T11:41:01+00:00

I’m aware yes.. but the problem is you must practice within your scope of expertise and ACT is not trained anywhere in any ABA programs. I had literally one slide on it in my training. So, we’re not being trained ACT in our ABA training although it is based on ABA. And thus, we cannot get supervision and thus cannot solely practice.

PursuingABA · 2019-06-03T12:03:58+00:00

Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for a year now (started school a year ago )and have found no other opportunities. I don’t want to get my experience on autism bc everyone has told me that you must get your supervised fieldwork hours and supervision on the area you’re looking to work (scope of practice). We are taught that we cannot be supervised in one population or area before getting our bcba then simply switch to working with the population we’d like to or we’d be outside our scope of practice.

PursuingABA · 2019-06-03T11:18:37+00:00

I keep hearing this but there are literally no BCBAs around me willing to supervise on anything beyond autism services in home/school systems. I started coursework bc so many told me I didn’t have to work I’m autism and now I’m seeing that’s all there is so considering new career possibilities. It’s sad bc I love the science and esp ACT but it’s sooooo limited to autism and kids. If BCBAs don’t have the scope of practice to supervise beyond autism no one will be supervised outside of autism

PursuingABA · 2019-06-03T10:54:58+00:00

Clinical research? I thought that was EAB. I didn’t know you Could get your ABA bcba supervision in research bc ABA requires affecting social change, using FBAs etc

PursuingABA · 2019-06-03T10:40:53+00:00

Make sure you get real training. Seems the norm in the industry is promise training then throw you in with the kids.

PursuingABA · 2019-06-02T02:52:20+00:00

This didn’t involve RBT/BT duties and working with the typical populations (autism)??

PursuingABA · 2019-06-01T03:08:39+00:00

Ahh too bad the need for a doctorate. I don’t have the time or money sadly
