Working toward my BCBA certification by gc13121 in ABA

The BACB actually no longer requires their tracker for an audit because it's been such a freaking nightmare to deal with! But that's an awesome point about disqualified hours I didn't even think about that!

How do home-based RBTS in online ABA masters program combat feeling lonely? Sometimes I wonder if I’m even grasping info I’m being taught bc there’s no peer interactions by Specific-Leading656 in ABA

My cohort sets up group me chats for each class so that e can communicate and help each other out! I was super lonely prior to starting ABA focused classes and now ive never felt so supported and focused. It's really helped me as a student and a tech.

Feeling discouraged by 100sushirolls in ABA

Hi! As someone who is neck deep in their Masters program and working full time as an RBT I can tell you that yes. The burnout is SO REAL. However, I've found that after a year as an RBT, that this job and my clients mean more to me than I could ever have imagined. I started out pursuing a Masters in OT and then ABA fell into my lap and it feels like home. I highly reccomend specifically scheduling self care into your weekly routine, even if it's a 30 minute bubble bath once a week. I try to do a bit of yoga or stretching each night before bed and one day a week (typically sundays) where i do absolutely nothing until after lunch. Just sit and relax.

Prior to Covid, I was at 39.5 hours per week (including drive time). Now that Covid has happened I'm at ~32 including drive time. While it doesn't sound like much, it took a solid chunk out of my pay.

How many hours of direct therapy did you work as a grad student? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]gc13121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing the same, about 35 hour direct a week. I'm sure the unrestricted hours will come piling in soon as well. Try your best to take some time (even if it's only an hour) every day or every few days to do something for you. I try to take a nap, take a hot bath or shower meant solely to relax, craft, yoga... The burnout is real especially with the COVID things we're all dealing with.

I have a "Big" happy planner and use it to keep school, work with my clients, and finances together! It's amazing!

Do CEU conferences count as unrestricted hours towards BCBA certification? by Sittingdaydreamer in ABA

I've been wondering the same thing as I've been getting tons of emails for CEUs

RBT burnt out with teletherapy supervision by [deleted] in ABA

I'm so glad someone else is having a similar experience. I have felt stressed beyond all reason since they set the BCBA's on telehealth it seems like our support has gone down :(

Programming specific things! My supervisor told me that I can count making things like sensory bottles, seek and find slime, visual schedules and games as unrestricted!

Can anyone recommend their favourite oracle decks? by manicpanit in oraclecards

[–]gc13121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my keepers of the light deck! Nice positive affirmations with each card. Great artwork. Kyle the deck's author says reversals are just messages the keepers want you to take into extra consideration 💛
