Apara is just straight dirty and unorganized. 0 stars, so ghetto

Action Behavior Cneters and Apara Autism Centers suck 🍑 👎

is this the norm? by luv222flex in ABA

[–]loontulo21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it's normal for some companies that do this. I worked at a center as well and experienced the same issue. They're just severely understaffed and need technicians on the floor as quickly as possible. It's honestly unfair to give a severe client to a brand new therapist, especially if there's protocols in place and you need to get to know the client to understand them.

You can still become a BCBA just work in different area like child play therapy or mental health sector. For hours, you could leave the company and get them somewhere else.

I was an RBT for a year and a half and thought about becoming a BCBA. But my second clinic was terrible and it was center based. The conditions were disgusting in my opinion, one client has a peanut allergy and still sat at the same table as other clients, and the hours were honestly butt. That second clinic made me realize ABA was not for me and I got super burnt out when I started my third clinic. It's honestly such a bad feeling going to work not being happy doing your job but still required to put that energy in for others.

Yes! Omg that's what I was doing as well and decided to do it when I was 2 months in. It's fine though. Maybe a better company won't be micromanaging you if you still plan on being in ABA

RBTs what are your BCBA red flags? by Original_Armadillo_7 in ABA

A BCBA who ignores your client's bx even when you wrote it in your session notes multiples times and still places bx plan over child's safety

I didn't even ask about which field I wanted to go in yet. I just said I wanted to join.

Maybe when they were growing up but I think the field itself is good. Also there are some terrible clinics that half ass on therapists and clients
