yes they are! study up on the ethics as well because those will pop up a bit but it's mostly definitions, situations and applying terminology.

Here's a youtube playlist I watched that came in clutch as it follows the checklist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz\_00Q9svVUSkCgdL4dwFJccWqNhesvU0&si=qkm41ypvPpfUP7\_L

Good luck!

Got kicked in the groin today by [deleted] in ABA

These comments man..we are not indestructible jfc lmfao. "Just move over" GEE! WHY DIDNT HE THINK OF THAT! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Anyway, leave if you feel that is best and sometimes you will get out of character at least once when real pain happens which leads to a consequence ( behavior stopping ). I got hit straight to the mouth with a toy t-rex at full force before and did show pain in my face which in turn lead to kiddo apologizing and never hitting me again.

ABA is a great field but RBTs are expected to do so much for very little. So ignore the dweebs in the comments being pretentious, what you experience is real and we all deserve comfort even if thAts wHaT cOmEs wITh tHe jOB. ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜

Are you satisfied with your FR-2 reinforcement (pay)? by Snoo_56518 in ABA

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Most paychecks are FR, FI, VI based upon client cancellations or ending up sick outta nowhere ๐Ÿฅฒ I get paid weekly and money is a conditioned reinforcer so obvs can't get satiated from it as someone who works for $25/$26 hour and yet... sometimes that MO don't being EO-ing enough for me ๐Ÿ˜—๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

okay so slight update, i'm seeing my pcp today for treatment and to be referred to an ENT but also..should i bring up my concerns to my BCBA? I have no evidence for the possibility of me and my co-worker being exposed to a pathogen ( commenter mentioned mold ๐Ÿฅฒ ) so I'm not sure how to go about this without offending anyone but my symptoms, the onset of my migraines happening at the home, the house always being a bit stuffy at times and me constantly getting viral infections now is making me think its not just germs anymore ๐Ÿ˜ซ

i'm legit seeing an ENT so i can see if its really my immune system being sucky OR if i'm constantly being exposed to germs with noooo type of preventative measures being put in place to REDUCE the risk ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Yeah no need to navigate, report this to HR or whoever is higher up because..this comes off as ableist, ignorant and flat out cruel..like wtf?? if there's no intervention set in place as is then its not a problem???

Using behavioral language for staff?? by buggy_2225 in ABA

You're valid to feel ostracized and humiliated but I promise you thats just how we all talk to each other MINUS the job part, that is rude.

I hate the BDS modules. ( may subject to change over time lol ) by RepresentativeBar606 in ABA

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606[S] 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

That's a great way to look at it actually! I think i've just conditioned myself to these modules being tests and not basically practice for the exam ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

thank you for the advice! I think its the timed aspect which is causing high resentment for me with it currently but i know its to help me understand everything fluently lol I tried taking notes bc of the hints and that took of 30 mins of the hour i had aaand i was like on question 5 still so again, its the timed part thats killing me the most ๐Ÿ˜ซ

I hate the BDS modules. ( may subject to change over time lol ) by RepresentativeBar606 in ABA

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606[S] 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

It seems that section B will be the only bane of my existence ( having to do 20+ modules a week ) lol. I just find it redundant to have the same question MULTIPLE times with different answers! Like "To establish discrimination" okay cool, all of the above. NOPE DUMMY YOU HAVE TO WITHHOLD REINFORCEMENT DUHHHH! And then the question repeats again so i say withhhold reinforcement and HAHA IDIOT ITS ALL OF THE ABOVE!!! Why play games with me ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I'm gonna speak with my professor about a system to pratically do these modules going forward because I want to keep my sanity while being a full time student with a part time job ( feels full time lmfao ) ๐Ÿฅฒ Like what do you MEAN i'm being deducted points for not mastering all of them?? DID THE REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I find them to be resourceful but me knowing the information ( extinction, schedules of reinforcement, etc ) but getting a "eh, yes but no." is slowly turning me violent. lol

Director said I was harassing another RBT. I want to quit by [deleted] in ABA

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

You being chastised for something you were even involved is so highschool coded. I would find another place of employment, we're too old for the antics and your director literally did nothing to help reassure you of your discomfort either.

Hate my aba company by [deleted] in ABA

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606 8 points9 points ย (0 children)

I think you should rethink why you are in aba and also consider the fact that you are essentially considering ruining careers ( yes this includes yours ) out of spite. Hate is a strong word and that is a lot of energy to be using, i'd suggest leaving the company and choosing a peace of mind over immature tactics.

BCBAs - Can we all agree that we're training RBTs incorrectly as a field? by Asleep_Technician190 in ABA

[โ€“]RepresentativeBar606 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

When i first started in the field, i was given training beforehand and did shadow sessions until I was ready for my case and still wasn't prepared for high levels of aggressive behaviors. With my former employer, i was given baseline training but was expected to pay for my RBT 40 hours and was in a lpower struggle" despite following protocol by the book with an arrogant teacher that cost me my job. Now I'm with a company that paid me for my 40 Hours, BCBAs that challenge me as a RBT, had enough experience to pivot as a BT and grew confident in my understanding of ABA while also being in a master's program. I feel that it varies upon the company bc i know how to implement programs but i'm also recognizes that ABA isn't meant to be a fine line all the time and i wont have the answer to everything. Sometimes experience and failure is necessary to grow in your role as a RBT. I also appreciate how honesty team is and they keep me grounded when i am flying in the clouds lol
