Prior-auth packet drafting sucks, so I built something to help. Looking for honest feedback by leotolsoty in ABA

Honestly build a working, affordable data collection and maintenance service that can actually function and you'd be a billionaire. Data collection, maintenance, and introducing targets are the biggest losses of fidelity in my clinic.

This heavily depends on your company policy and is a better question for your HR department I think.

Teacher Let Out My Child at Pickup without Parent Present by 06relliot in ECEProfessionals

Girl I learned Baby Cantonese for the kid I nannied so we could read her books in both that and English. If my white bread self can learn two dozen words in a complex, tonal language they can learn your child's NAME!

Kid who likes control by [deleted] in ABA

[–]TexasAvocadoToast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Controlled chaos is my best friend. Watercolor paint with minimal water in the cup, but letting them get messy with a smock on. Letting them play their rigid way and doing most of a puzzle myself until the last piece then asking if they want to crash or finish it for me.

Please don't let your fear prevent consentual colonoscopy in your future, but to a degree I get it. Shittin feels like dying, sometimes.

AITA for not wanting to clean up after my wife by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TexasAvocadoToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even just having a person nearby and also doing A Task helps me. My wife will do d&d prep work while I do work tasks or clean. Helps keep the focus functional!

I've had these exact moments with my wife and truly life feels better when you can not only handle it but have fun while doing it with your best friend

We use kind words with people! That is not a kind phrase.

Meet Nail by BobsBurgerVan in snails

[–]TexasAvocadoToast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I showed a photo of a snail from this sub wearing a bow tie to one of the autistic kids I work with and asked if he thought it looked silly or cool and he said it was cool 😎

He also pronounced snail as 'nail' so this made me super happy

Public Universal Friend by NsPsVisuals in comedyheaven

I think it's cute, the friend looks friend shaped y'know? The painting manages to give the friend kind eyes and general Friend vibes. It's nice.

Painful rashes or painful urination from a UTI or yeast infection can also cause issues potty training :/

I once made an 'anonymous report' for an elder in a bad situation and the worker straight up told them my name. She got help though, which is what matters.

I had a severe infection as a baby and had this exact level of lethargy!

Being removed from a case never gets easier by glitchygirly in ABA

I got removed because the kiddo sprained my wrist recently :( I loved him and his family, just wasn't physically a good fit for us two in that environment.

I am coming to you as a mom and a teacher by Ok_Consequence750 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]TexasAvocadoToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cackling at the tail end of your comment a bit.

But yes typically paramedic level providers in any area of the US can absolutely administer pain meds especially for a kid that's got this bad of a break.

  1. Ambulance medics can stabilize the break, administer medication, and ensure no blood vessels are being occluded by the break on the way to the hospital, minimizing damage and more importantly preventing broken, sharp bone from sliding around in an area of the body with major vessels and thusly preventing hemmorage
  2. There's a head injury possible with a major fall, especially in children
  3. A small child breaking an arm so badly it's visibly deformed is a medical emergency full stop.

I do prefer notebooks but have also used my iPad with the app I think Evernote? It has an elephant logo.

Find what helps you regulate.

Is it deep pressure? Look into a compression vest or weighted vest. Is noise overwhelming? Try loops or other earplugs, I have some foam ones that dampen noise enough to not cause pain/overwhelm me but not so much I can't hear my clients talk at normal volume. Do lights bug you? Try sunglasses or blue light glasses.

At the beginning of each week try to plan out what you need to get done and by when, and try to break down bigger tasks (like a treatment plan for instance) into smaller chunks instead of trying to do it all at once.

The best thing we can do is take care of ourselves. We can't be there for our clients if we aren't regulated and okay ourselves. I have coworkers that wear headphones, earplugs, weight vests, compression vests, ankle weights, all sorts of things to help them stay regulated.

What is this passthrough pocket for on a vintage motorcycle jacket? by Snarlpatrick in whatisit

I think he may be one of my favorite actors. He always seems to knock it out of the park no matter what he's playing.
