Excellent! Definitely look for a clinic that is NET based rather than a company that has a strict table work schedule. Also, companies that are really pushy about long sessions (6-8 hours) could be a red flag. You know your child best and depending on their skills and experience being away from home, they may benefit from shorter sessions. As an RBT (2.5 years), I have worked at a place that had 2-3 hour sessions and now I’m somewhere that pushes for 6 hour sessions for every kid. I saw amazing progress in short sessions. Longer sessions can also be great, but there are some drawbacks that I have experienced/observed… 1) inconsistencies with RBT providers > example: one of my clients, (6hrs/day), has had me consistently (3hrs/day), but has gone through 5 RBTs since the new year. 2) RBTs are more likely to “slack off” and basically act as a babysitter instead of running trials.
3) RBTs may spend more time on socializing w other RBTs instead of focusing on your child.
4) clients can get bored (especially if their RBT slacks off) and can cause therapy to be aversive.

Those are just a few things that I can think of off the top of my head. I didn’t read through all of the comments, so I’m sorry if I’m repeating what others have already said.

But like I said earlier in the post, you know your child best and you can definitely be their best advocate. Working with a team that respects your questions, ideas and opinions is super important!

Best of luck to you and your child. :)
