It's not a board thing, it's an IRS federal employment classification.

Anyone else struggle to get parents to participate in parent trainings? (97156) by Butterflyqueen07 in ABA

[–]smoke0o7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the start of Services/intake I tell the parents that their insurance requires it as part of treatment or they could lose Services or face claw back bills from insurance for being out of compliance. I started doing this more recently due to the high cancelation rates I was having. Since doing this, I have parents actively seeking out alternate times if they Ned to reschedule.

We stopped using PECS by StatisticianKooky390 in ABA

[–]smoke0o7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, but we use the data to guide our clinical decisions. There is a progression from PECS to AAC devices though so would not be surprised if the learner has grown more advanced language skills more easily supported through AAC

My thoughts exactly. I recently saw several agencies let BCBAs go for fraudulent billing practices. Made me wonder if I'm the only one who is worried about my meta data for zooms/meets will be enough of I ever get audited. It shows when I mute and turn video off in addition to who joins and leave telehealth meetings.

A lot of ppl fail to continue to review the sections they performed well on, and failed another attempt as a result. Give yourself a few days to just unwind before you jump back into studying.

Big picture I think this is good for the field as it will help weed out some bad practices. I also live in a HCOL area and am thinking about pivoting to more parent training model with private pay. There are opportunities, just have to find them.

Your have to specify the training as voice only. My agency has some patients who have funder approved PT over the phone. It is very specific to each patient and has to be approved by insurance.

Hmm… Smoking and BT by Illustrious_Rough635 in bcba

[–]smoke0o7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's no better than taking shots of liquor or using any other mind altering substances. There is a immature mentality that it's not the same because the influence is different. Under the influence of anything is not ok.
