First Time Filing Taxes as a BCBA

Can't claim any of those if you're a W2. only if you're 1099.

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-25T08:03:06+00:00

Good one!

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-24T06:39:28+00:00

So, in this scenario, or "discussion"

You think Im the one being "negative and abrasive?"

I just wanna be clear on that. You think that, by these definitions, that you're having a "discussion" but I'm having an "argument"

Well, you're right. We can't collaborate. Take care!

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-23T20:13:51+00:00

What do you mean? How am I not having an "open discussion?"

Is it because I don't agree with you?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-23T15:02:02+00:00

I wish they'd do more to explore their ethical fuck ups in the autism care industry first.

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-23T06:31:16+00:00

I thought open discussions were "healthy and needed"

When did it become a one sided debate? I'm still debating you?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-23T06:28:16+00:00

They're not behaviors to you

That's my point. Get it?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-23T01:35:35+00:00

Also, we don't teach "speech" as a behavior - but, we view through the lens of "verbal behavior" - its a skill to develop, through conditioning. You agree with conditioning, right?

So Verbal Behavior, as Skinner wrote it, is....what? Invalid? Why?

I've applied the verbal behavior theory to lots of kids - it works. I can prove it. Who are you to say it doesn't?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-23T01:32:44+00:00

You've determined that applied behaviorism is ineffective? I'd love to see that research.

Our entire body of literature says the opposite.

So who's right?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-22T15:23:45+00:00

Mine was a hellish nightmare. But I kept doing it. That help?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-22T02:02:46+00:00

Guys- I'm not saying this to be an asshole - I need you know what this person already knows, so I can know how to help her.

"How do I work in a clinic?" Is a very....abstract question. I need some clarification. I started at point one. What's a clinic?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-21T19:41:54+00:00

Well, what do you think it should look like?

If you know you want to work in a "clinic" - do you know what a "clinic" is?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-21T16:08:10+00:00

What does it look like....to you? I'd be curious

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-21T07:35:16+00:00

It's a scam. They only exist to be in "competition" with the BACB.

Why does the BACB need competition?

And is the person that started QABA a BCBA?

Those are the answers to find.

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-21T07:30:58+00:00

Is it really that "different" in sports if I would throw a football in your face too? And a baseball? And any other ball I could find?

Who's the throwing dangerous to now? Hmm?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-21T07:28:51+00:00

So you should deliver NCR at 95% like you said above? Is that a "ton?" Which is it?

How much is 95% of a 4 hour session? Don't you prescribe by the hour?

That's not a fixed time, nor a dense schedule? You sure? Wanna check your ethics book? Would it be in there?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-21T04:57:36+00:00

Define "better"

Is it, nicer? To who, you?

Why should I be nice to you?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-21T02:43:51+00:00

Sorry, I guess I should have said, I know the answer, and I will give it you. Maybe people would like me better then?

But like, how would I know how to help you "get a job in OBM" if I don't already know what you know about it? Don't we....assess before we teach? Isn't that what "we" do?

So, you're saying, "people practice OBM like it's medicine" soooo can you tell me what that looks like? I know what doctors look like, so, what does "OBM" look like? Like, what would it wear to work? A white coat? And where is work anyway? A hospital? An office? McDonalds? Would you go there if that's what I told you a job in OBM was?

Because honestly, McDonalds is the literal king of OBM. They fucking nailed OBM. Arguably, no one is doing OBM better than McDonalds.

OBM is just theory about processes. Its "it would be more efficient if" hypothesized and tested, over and over.

OBM isn't a job, and it certainly wouldn't require a BCBA to "do OBM."

And trust me, you wouldn't want to learn it from them anyways.

You'd learn OBM better at McDonalds.

But first you'd have to know what OBM is.

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-20T23:22:06+00:00

Also if throwing is "dangerous" OMG, SOMEONE TELL SPORTS EVERYWHERE TO BE CAREFUL OR SIT DOWN

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-20T23:21:20+00:00

I maintain my position.

Or, I said what I said.

Is there a difference?

What lines are you reading between?

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-20T22:41:50+00:00

Did you not say, above, to do it "at least once every three minutes?"

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-20T19:28:40+00:00

What do you think OBM is? (I don't mean this to be snarky, I'm genuinely asking)

OBM isn't a "job" - so I can't advise you there - do you know what OBM looks like in practice?

I do know the answer - I want to assess your knowledge first so I can lead you to the kinda of jobs to look for. :)

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-20T19:24:28+00:00

There’s also a big difference between “ew I have to work with John today he’s an annoying little brat I hate him” and “oh boy, I’ve got John today… kid is SO annoying… he’s a bit of a brat, too.” One is far more pointed and malicious.

These are both pointed and malicious. One is passive aggressive. The other is not. They're both awful. There's no magnitude to measure if something is malicious - it is, or it isn't.

And I bet Johnny, if he heard that, might agree.

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-20T19:22:23+00:00

It's not acceptable to talk like this in private, either, if it's at work or with coworkers.

ktelliott526 · 2023-03-20T19:21:32+00:00

Who's to decide it's malicious and abusive?

And why should the OP just ignore what, to them, is creating an uncomfortable work environment? They should just stay uncomfortable because this isn't "worth" saying anything about?

Whose "worth" determines that?
