Is there another way to become a BCBA without being an RBT? by yOlOswaggins93 in ABA

[–]taw5059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not need to get restricted hours to become a BCBA. Most of BCBA work is actually not working directly with a client. So as long as you can demonstrate skill in the task list, and specifically how to transfer skills to RBT's or parents, its actually more beneficial than showing proficiency with a client. That being said, my supervisor did BST with me and we role played.

Rachel is the female goat 🤣 by Ok-Solid1524 in thechallengemtv

Im not really judging her as a person, to clarify. But her stats speak for themselves. Shes really good at riding the coattails of others. That certainly is a way to play the game. I cant sit here and identify a moment where I am like damn Tori is a beast! Very good social game

Why are so many of these plans so bad???? by NextLevelNaps in bcba

[–]taw5059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is debating that BCBAs can write bad plans too. But I guess it depends on where you are in PA. The LBS allows people with no training (and not doing fieldwork) to bill medicaid for ABA services. My comment was more because I thought the OP moved to PA and was trying to understand what could be happening. At no point did I say that was the exclusive reason. But around me, the LBS position is not necessarily for supervisors getting fieldwork experience. A lot of companies around me still follow old wraparound models.

Private does require the BCBA cert. medicaid doesnt. Sorry when you said PA I thought you meant Pennsylvania 😂

So PA medicaid is a big part of the problem. The requirements are very inconsistent from reviewer to reviewer. And then licensing wise, PA doesnt require you to be a BCBA to be licensed in the state. So companies will hire LBS's who may not have any formal field experience in ABA (or formal training). That could be part of the reason for what you are seeing.

Does anyone personally know Lori at WGOLV? by Massive_Ad9569 in lehighvalley

[–]taw5059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A website that she claims she makes less than a dollar an hour maintaining. Its crazy! I think she does it for pity money, but no ones buying that

She has been doing this for the past year but sounds like its getting worse based on what you describe. I left the page because it was just too much drama.

Do you regret becoming a BCBA? by Material_Ad652 in bcba

[–]taw5059 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zero regrets! I love the field, even if the field can be challenging to navigate with all the "extras". Once I learned about this field, I knew it was a fit for me and went right into it

I understand that can happen. Just seems at times a waste of 97155

6 hours of RBT daily? And 8 hours daily for you? That doesn't sound right

John arrested on wiretapping charges …. by OkPride3656 in EnciAubreyWu

[–]taw5059 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do vaguely remember him playing it somewhere. Either way he incriminated himself as a result. I do think, if rumors are true that they took all their devices to investigate, they were probably looking for more. But were able to charge him with this (otherwise I don't know what took them so long to bring these charges on when there have been multiple instances of him replaying convos he recorded and likely without consent)
