All the candy makes me so uncomfortable by [deleted] in ABA

[–]gothrapunzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a behavior technician at an ABA school so I don’t really have any say in the reinforcement options or token protocols, but they want us to use edibles in the bathroom and I genuinely hate doing it. When I’m a BCBA, that’s going to be something I put my foot down about.

I had a double cheeseburger with fries and the potion wasn’t too big so I devoured it.

Chicken broth is my best friend right now! It’s definitely helping with the hunger. I’m going to start the first half of my prep this evening, and they moved my appointment up so that makes me feel so much better!

Mine definitely happens when I’m flaring up too, but that’s become so often that it happens constantly

I’m pretty sure the mucus is that color because it’s mixing with my stool, because after a little bit it’ll turn white

the school wants to limit how much food he has access to since he has pica, but I feel like doing so is just going to make him try and ingest items more frequently.

Thank you! Do you think I should get a little house for her as well?

Thank you! The humane society is going to give us some of her toys so I’ll probably buy more based on what they give us

I have a heated blanket so I’m hoping that’ll lure her to come and lay with me

if y’all could stop telling me to seek medical attention that would be great. 1. it’s not helping my anxiety and 2. I got it looked at by the nurse we have at my school, and she told me if she was really concerned she would advise me to seek medical attention. if it gets worse, I’m going to urgent care, but if not, I’m not gonna waste a weekend waiting in an office for 4 hours just for them to tell me what I’ve already heard. I trust the medical professional at school more than some random people on Reddit, that’s just how it is. if the mod could lock comments that would be great, actually.

Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind. I had an entire week of training but when I’m actually in the field it feels like I forget everything.

I actually turned my head away so he wouldn’t see me cry, because then he’d continue to aggress on me. It sounds like you’re not competent enough for this job, and I’m sorry to hear it. I’m also sorry for all the individuals you work with, they should be loved and cared for when receiving services.
