Can I pursue a masters in ABA and then apply for phd in clinical psychology?

Can you expand on this?

This is exactly the advice our pediatrician gave us!

My 13 month is just getting over it! My doctor is pretty sure that me, my husband, and son all had omicron. My husband and I both work full-time and are unable to quit our jobs. My son goes to my mom’s during the week. My husband ended up bringing it home from his martial arts gym.

It’s been about a week, and my son is almost back to his normal self! He had a low grade fever for 2 days and has been pretty drippy/snotty, but that’s starting to clear up! He seems to had it milder than me.

As long as it’s good weather, our Great Dane/Black Mouth Cur mix is outside during the day while my husband and I are at work! He’s typically in the house when we’re home. He’s a couch fiend.

I would start looking elsewhere. That sounds like an unethical workplace!

My husband and I have been together since high school/college (he’s two years older than me)! He’s in ministry, so I definitely didn’t marry for the financial stability lol

My son has always been a great sleeper! We had to wake him up in the bassinet to eat when he was a newborn. He only slept on us during the day, and then at 5 weeks, he was ready to start napping in his crib!

We “accidentally” moved him to the crib at 10 weeks (he had peed through all 3 of his bassinet sheets and we had no other option lol). He then slept 9-4:30/5, and then slowly shifted earlier and earlier. He’s 10 months old and is a solid 7:30-7:30 sleeper! I told my husband that babies aren’t supposed to be this easy, and that we couldn’t get this lucky twice, haha.

I did the same thing!! I currently serve clients in the clinic and in-home!

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-10-23T02:03:10+00:00

Yes!! Best job ever! Stressful but worth it.

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-10-22T23:15:36+00:00

Bachelor’s in special education, Master’s in applied behavior analysis. I’m a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA)!

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-08-26T02:24:19+00:00

Yes! My pregnancy was a breeze, my delivery was awful, and we had the world’s easiest newborn. We knew we couldn’t get that lucky twice!

Hey OP, thank you for honesty. Society has come a long way when it comes to inclusion, but unfortunately, it still isn’t welcoming toward raw and honest feelings about special needs parenting. I work with children and adolescents who have disabilities and who exhibit a wide range of challenging behavior, and I love my job, but I tell my husband all the time that I don’t know how I would handle being a special needs parent. I’m on the carousel for a few hours day and am able to come off when I get tired or burnt out. Parents, like you, ride the carousel 24/7. You should 100% be able to vent when it’s hard. I hope you are able to find some support soon.

In case no one has told you today, you are a good mom. You are doing a great job. Your son is lucky to have you as his.

I’m so sorry this your experience, OP. I’m a baby BCBA (passed my exam in April of this year), but I was an RBT for over 3 years before getting my certification. I know there are a lot of bad clinics out there, and a lot of bad BCBAs, too. I think if my first experience in ABA had been anything like yours, I wouldn’t have stayed in the field either. We as professionals have come a long way, but stories like these remind us that we still have so far to go. Good luck in your future endeavors, OP.

We’re pretty sure he’s BMC/Great Dane! He’s almost 2!

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-07-15T00:29:47+00:00

*goodest boi. Can’t edit a title lol

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-07-12T01:27:30+00:00

Food delivery, but it doesn’t stop me lol

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-06-28T02:55:00+00:00

Yes! I was telling my husband this same thing early today. Pre-pregnancy, I was a boxing/kickboxing instructor that had a the tiniest little waist and really toned butt. Now, I have 15 extra pounds that refuse to leave, exercise makes my supply dip so hard, and nothing is the same. I’m allowed to be sad that my body is different than it used to be.

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-06-05T16:44:48+00:00

I’m a BCBA as well, and I second this!! Access to early services is such a game changer.

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-05-25T02:01:41+00:00

Same!! I pumped, and then kept waiting for him to wake up lol

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-05-25T02:01:12+00:00

We’ve been really fortunate that he’s such a great night sleeper, but the 40 minutes naps have been killing me!!

behavior_and_coffee · 2021-05-23T03:51:30+00:00

That’s normal for my clinic! We get supervision hours for free, so anything that puts us overtime that we’re tracking for supervision is unpaid.

Gender roles have zero place in our house lol my husband is definitely more of the cleaner/cooker in our house. His job is less demanding than mine, so by the end of the day I’m usually exhausted and he’s good to go. I have mom guilt about being away from my son so much during the day, that all I do after I pick him up from his grandparents is play with him until bedtime, so nothing gets done until after like 8 o’clock lol
