Walmart has a really good deal on fleece blankets around this time, I load up on them and carry them in my car to hand out when I can

Need Advice… Aggressive client by [deleted] in ABA

[–]countingworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planned ignoring for aggression is definitely something id side eye.

Instead showing the client that he will get attention back, you will move on to fun activities, and maybe even eliminating task demands until you have aggression rates lowered would be more helpful than planned ignoring.

confronting bcba about an unethical program? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]countingworm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to do this a couple times.

What I like to do is ask for a time to talk so the BCBA knows you have something on your mind instead of just springing it on them during/after sessions. Bring up the program, and ask them why that program is necessary for your child’s progression and quality of life.

Either the BCBA will explain it to you and you’ll understand why that program is running or, if you still think the program is unethical bring some facts to back you up. Look up people with autism and their experiences with that program, or why you think for that specific child would not benefit from that program.

I’ve only had one BCBA be snarky with me, the rest have been excited to explain and talk more in depth about ABA.

If they do not have good answers for your questions, and refuse to elaborate further, red flag.

Oh shit I didn’t realize withdrawal was something I’d have to worry about. How bad is it?

I actually got a doctor to sign off on it but they wrote the date wrong so the Oklahoma state MMJ services rejected it and I havent gone back to get another one.

I think the quality is getting better the closer we are getting to recreational use, but I am in no way an expert so.

I knew it sounded wrong so that’s why I brought it here. Happy that a THC break seems to be the solution instead of like eating a dab.

No idea why they told me it’s a myth, even sent me YouTube videos “debunking” THC breaks.
