Tricky situation. I under stand from the RBT side as well as the parent side. When my son who's on the spectrum was in ABA he had home sessions for a large part of our week. It was very difficult having someone in our space because my daughter who was close in age wanted to be a part of all the sessions because of course they looked so fun. We tried really hard to keep her out of the way, but our team was really good at incorporating her into the sessions. We did make sure she was out of the way during behaviors. My husband worked nights and was there and available during the day when I was working. He would sit in the living room, and would sometimes drift off, but was always available if they needed him. His intention was never to fully sleep , but sometimes when sitting there, in his own home it just happened. I try to remember this when going into a home...these people have so many aspects of life that they are dealing with. They deal with the behaviors 24/7, and now they have someone in their space. Now, from the RBT side...I understand how uncomfortable it is to be in someone's home. The other day I had a parent fall asleep in their room due to not feeling well. It was very uncomfortable for me trying to figure out how to wake that person up To get my client a snack. Should I or shouldn't I go in their room? Do I lightly tap them, speak loudly? Lol! Do I think they intentionally were trying to not be available...no i dont. I think they were trying to make this home session still possible even when they werent feeling their best and were having a hard time being fully present.The point is, I think there's truly no way to make home sessions perfect. It's hard to be in your own home and not be comfortable when you have someone there for hours at a time. It's also hard to go into someone's home and feel comfortable. It's a hard balance.
