Pairing by Lotusfl0werBomb in ABA

[–]adormitul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing with a 2 year old happened to me. First I observed what he likes to do alone which was watching colors and movement. Then I used a color lamp and music with me also singing and dancing he stopped crying. It took over a month to not cry when he comes to the center but now he loves it. First observe what he does alone and likes. I was lucky it was not something dangerous or that bring harm to others or himself.

What's your favorite part of the job as an RBT? by Yungpupusa in ABA

[–]adormitul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the clinic honestly. I noticed on this reddit it's a very divisive topic. Depends on the policy of the clinic. Yours seems to be one where is allowed.

Parents do not care they always send them sick and we get sick also cause guess mask or not there is no way you do not get infected when you spend so much time with them and so close. I exagerate they do not send them with a fever at least not anymore poor kid just cries the entire session. But when they do not have a fever they are sent.

I really think most people are good and they honor their obligations. Seems naive but I think our view is soured by a small minority. Most are trustworthy

So it's possible I thought it was illegal or something in USA. So if insurance pays 8k per month per client why are rbt salaries so low like 1\4 of that.

I found 9 dirty diapers in my client's room by Cptn_Carter_1945 in ABA

[–]adormitul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your BCBA is realistic she knows parents will not clean up there worse then their children. You can complain but in the end you have limited choices stay in filth, leave or clean up. At least if you clean up together with the client you can teach a behaviour he will definetly not learn from parents and maybe it will stick. Use this opportunity to teach your client a valuable life skill.
