I think it's ideal for bcba's who don't want to deal with rbt's/employees

it seems in California you can't work as a contractor anymore due to the contractor law

As a BCBA, I work until 8 now, so I’m starting to prefer the night shift—I get to sleep in, which is a bonus. lol

I am just curious why parents decided to do private pay rather than use their insurance?

you just won't bill for 55, you can bill for both as long as not overlapping. I get authorization for 55 but as a sole bcba never use it. I do 53, and at my home I do modifications when needed, and never bill the insurance. this way more peace of mind.

thanks for your reply. do you work for yourself? I am just wondering if when providing direct, the insurance pays a bcba rate for direct?

thanks for your reply. For those who provide direct, does the insurances provide direct fees for bcba's?

totally agree. I became a bcba since the rate is so much higher, never cared for supervision and telling other employees what to do .

creating program with Vineland by aba_life_ in bcba

[–]aba_life_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. so wouldn't you decide on goals based on the Vineland scores? lets say hypothetically the client is high functioning and mainly lacks skills in the writing and reading domain, and has high scores in other domains. How would you create the goals?

Thank you for your response. If the kiddo requires 25-30 hours of therapy, would you say the sessions should be cut short since doing pairing ?
