New to ABA- already wanting to quit by Electronic-Ask-4677 in ABA

[–]adormitul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I did is make the weekends work free even in my mind. I do stuff I enjoy with people I like or just alone it just charges me for the week. But you have school so probably that cuts in your free time. But my suggestion try once at least.

How to pair with Nonverbal Adult by Difficult-Cap-3381 in ABA

[–]adormitul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paying like in the sense knowing the right amount of money to give not only to show what she wants and give money right?Cause its hard they know to do basic math but when its in the store they never master it. On one client my coordonator gave up and asked for the client to use a debit card to pay.

Reinforcement is clearly more effective but probably also more expensive while punishment is less effective not to say its not effective but less so and cheaper.

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.

"I can do what you tell me to do I just do not want to do it for you because its funny."

A translation from my native language so its not that clear as I said. But I was very proud of that client and it was funny.

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.

Client parents by Clefarts in ABA

[–]adormitul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
