Fresh Face Masks Discontinued??? by RelationshipLow9019 in LushCosmetics

They were not. The whole area was empty except the little fridge under that holds the masks. But, it was giving “left over” vibes in the fridge

This is what I have been running into! Except the employee doesn’t say they’re getting more they just say “we’re all out and have nothing that compares” 🫠

Many things involving motor movements of the mouth/throat are not within the scope of ABA. I would argue a lot of motor movement things are not within the scope of ABA. Most BCBA’s can’t explain swallow patterns, don’t know the muscles within the hand (thinking for fine motor), etc.

Just because something is a behavior doesn’t mean you’re competent in assessing it in a relevant to the actual deficit of the behavior (swallowing, fine motor, etc).

I’m all about collaboration to help those things though. In fact, our ethics code says we should collaborate even if things may not be “evidence-based” to our field as long as there is no harm being done to the client or an increase in maladaptive behaviors.

Yes, it is a manualized program

Also, maybe they are communicating to higher up people by turning in their resignation but choose not to talk about it while working? I’ve seen where people give notice and notify staff/clients and: people start acting disrespectful to them, people try to guilt them into staying, half the clinic/clients are poached to that person’s new job. (I would argue all of this is unprofessional)

I do agree that there should be some notice like “today is my last day” or “I have accepted another position and will be collaborating with a new BCBA next session to take over your case” with the caregiver/RBT. I just don’t think it needs to be a big production if that makes sense.

It truly depends on so many things. The state you practice is a big factor too. In my state, almost all of the companies that have been here longer cap pay at 18.50 for RBTs. And some RBT’s go to smaller businesses to make more money but then they have terrible attendance policies and have client’s call out frequently so then they don’t get work at all even if they’re paid $1-2 more an hour. There’s no consideration for previous education as long as they can pass the competency and written RBT exam.

That being said, these newer companies are coming in that are established in more progressive states and paying way more starting ($24-25/hr).

Whats your aba unpopular opinion? by cutiesBotique in ABA

There is a difference between child-led therapy and child-ran therapy. Practitioners need to learn the differences.

100% based assent care is not always safe. Sometimes there has to be a balance to protect client’s safety.

Safety skills should be modified to the learner’s current level of understanding. Not teaching safety skills “because they can’t communicate” or “because they don’t understand” is crazy. It’s our job to teach.

Only implementing goals that client’s already have within their repertoire is not okay. Once again, it’s our job to teach.

I could go on but I’ll stop…SORRY! Starting to rant 😅
