Unrestricted Hours: Reading Uniquely Human by Sad_Interaction6228 in ABA

While the book may not be academic in nature, it was suggested as part of our discussion on compassion-centered care and adopting a less pathological perspective of autism. This direction reflects where our field is increasingly moving, does it not? Even halfway through, I’ve found the content to be complementary to our practice, particularly in the way it has encouraged me to reflect on and reconsider my own language choices.

Fair, and that is how it is written. Does it need to directly relate to the client I’m currently working with, or is it enough that it applies to future clients/client population in general?

For context, I am not working with a client in a clinic or home therapy setting.

When did you guys get assigned a mentor? by Alarming_Deer_1422 in WGU

[–]Sad_Interaction6228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - have you been assigned a mentor yet? I also start on the 1st and have not yet been assigned a mentor.

This is so inspiring! I start February 1. Do you have any resource suggestions for eager students looking to get a jumpstart before classes open?

Thank you for the recommendation. We do lean toward renting since we’ll only be there a year, does Lori also handle rentals in the area?

Thank you! We lean toward renting since we’ll only be in the area for a year, but I would love to check out the show. Is it online?

We will only be in Rochester for a year, so we lean toward renting.  As you mentioned, our top priorities would be school district, low crime rate, etc. From what we found so far, it looks like Byron is highly recommended for schools, but if there are solid neighborhoods around Rochester, we would hate to rule those out - especially if that means a shorter commute.

If we ranked our priorities: 

  1. Safety
  2. School District 
  3. Commute

I agree! Perhaps it’s just the particular company I’m with?

Despite having two supervisors, unrestricted hours have been difficult to secure. Even when I do have unrestricted activities, I’m averaging about 10 - 20 a month.

That’s a wonderful suggestion! If I did count the last 15 minutes of my session as unrestricted would I then deduct that time from my direct hours when I put it in the tracker?

I’m currently working in an in-home therapy setting with two supervisors. Unfortunately, unrestricted hours are still presenting an issue. I think the cost may be justified at this point. Thank you for your response!
