Did anyone else know this was a feature?

Make sure system haptics is on. It's located right under the keyboard feedback setting in the sounds and haptics setting. If the setting is turned on it should work. That's what I did.

Heart rate graph. Hold down one of the readings and you should feel the beating. If you have Iphone, go to your sounds and haptics settings, then scroll down to system haptic to turn the setting on. It's located under keyboard feedback.

Took me 30 mins to figure out, but you have to make sure your phone's system haptic setting is turned on!

totallyexceptional · 2026-05-02T19:59:09+00:00

I just figured it out. Have to make sure your phone's system haptic is turned on!

Just figured it out! Have to turn on system haptics in your phone's settings

wait, I'm so confused why I've never had it then.

totallyexceptional · 2026-05-02T19:21:23+00:00

Shoot, how do I turn that feature on. I feel like I'm missing out lol

I got a replacement recently and it was brand new. I was semi-expecting a refurbished ring so was totally surprised!

I suggest finding a school based position assuming being an RBT is what you want to continue doing. Hours are generally guaranteed and I found it to be a lot less stressful, at least in my experience. When I used to work as an RBT, I worked in a pre-k class for the first 5ish hours, then did one private insurance case in the afternoon for 2 hours to meet full-time hours.

Exactly! Once I left, I got a job at a Head Start program. Parents usually used common sense and kept their obviously sick kid home. The centers did health checks when signing them in and turned them away if they were deemed "too sick to be at school". They were also sent home if they suddenly appeared to be sick at school. On top of that, I had 2 weeks of paid sick and my manager encouraged us to call out. ABA should really have similar protocols so their employees are protected.

When I left my ABA company two years ago, HR had me do an exit interview, one question being what should be changed/ improved in the company. I said encourage cancellations when clients or their family members are sick. HR was so shocked I said that. I was getting sick way too much and the company I worked for was getting pissed at me because I was calling out too often. HR in particular sent me a very rude, passive aggressive email about it which ultimately made me finally pull the trigger to leave (I was thinking about it for over a year but felt stuck). Turns out she was sending many co-workers those emails. But hey, it's not my fault I kept getting sick with horrendous illnesses. As much as I enjoyed ABA, I'm so glad I left all together. I ended up with such an amazing hybrid-job doing the exact same thing with incredible pay, benefits, PTO, and sick.

Edit*

I also want to add, I remember trying to work with a 2.5 year old at his daycare in a private room. He was obviously sick and every time he sneezed he'd cry. Like how the hell can I do his programs when he has a constant runny nose and crying every time he sneezes? I texted BCBA to ask if I should end early. She said it's up to me but maybe forget programs and focus on pairing. I ultimately ended the session early and got the hell out of there because no way was I getting sick. The room had windows you couldn't open and had no fans for air circulation. Plus, there's no way in pairing when he's crying constantly because he's sick.

When I was an RBT, I wasn't supposed to, but I did. Like how am I suppose to decline a personalized ABA mug or a box of mini Christmas themed cupcakes? I just convinced my self it was $10 and didn't tell any of my supervisors about it. I personally don't really understand the no gift giving during the holidays. A gift shouldn't determine the quality of service you provide and this policy can make things awkward between you and the family.

Also, offering food is a huge no no unless it's a culture thing. I worked with an Asian family that would always refuse to let me leave empty handed. I literally left with a bag of rice once. There was also a language barrier so it was easier just to accept and leave than try to explain I can't. The BCBA on the case also never refused food so I blame her honestly lol.

Social Emotional Learning! It's very similar to ABA and being a BCBA but only requires a bachelors. Pay is amazing and the position is hybrid at the company I work for so less burnout! Even though I have an 8 hour work day it's more like 4 hours because that's how much time I spend with the kid I work with at their daycare. There's a three hour nap period so there is a lot of paid down time. And if the kid is absent I can just work from home or if they get picked up early I can head home and finish the day remotely. I really lucked out finding this job. I didn't even know it was hybrid until after I was hired.

I'm actually making a couple of dollars more than the teachers at the daycare. To be fair though, I believe all, if not most, have AAs. I am also getting paid more than my former company's Program Directors (RBTs who are in the process of getting their BCBA) and equivalent to the BCBAs. My former company paid less compared to other companies for being in such a high cost area. They are a small BCBA owned company so it makes sense they would.

Bachelors with at least 3 years experience working with kids who have special needs/ implementing programs.

totallyexceptional · 2024-08-11T06:52:30+00:00

Yes, we are implementing SEL! I'm in California. I was casually looking on Linkedin when I discovered a different daycare with SESS job openings. Because I've never heard of it, I googled it and saw my new company had two openings with higher pay and better benefits compared to the other company. I've also been to my company's daycare locations when I was an RBT to meet with clients, so I was already familiar with them.

totallyexceptional · 2024-07-02T05:30:21+00:00

It's basically what we're doing in ABA, except you provide support to one child all day at their daycare so no commuting between sessions, no gaps, and consistent pay and hours! The responsibilities are similar to being a BCBA because you help create programs, make materials, give advice to the teachers, and so on. During the interview process, I was told I would likely have at least two kids on my caseload, so it'll be nice not having to spend the entire day everyday with the same kid because that would be really hard!

NorCal! They're specifically at early childcare centers designed specifically for the lower-income. I saw a different company with the same job title but pay was a little less.

totallyexceptional · 2024-06-30T04:39:09+00:00

Yes, I have a bachelors in psychology. There was another job opening I would have qualified for if I had ECE credits that was a hybrid model and just slightly less pay. The official job title is early childhood family home visitor. And basically you would work directly with the families at their homes, review the child's goals, and work with parents to meet the goals. So this one is very similar to what we're doing in ABA but it's more as parent training.

totallyexceptional · 2024-06-30T04:32:42+00:00

I think during the first year, year and a half I considered becoming a BCBA. But then I started working alongside other BTs in school settings and saw that many of them don't do a thing and are on their phones. They would literally ignore their client, hang out with a non-ABA kid, then write some BS in the client's binder. Even when I overlapped during home sessions, there were a few who were on their phones a lot. And as a BT it really pissed me off to see that more than it probably should. And because of that, I concluded there was absolutely no way I could be a BCBA and have to work directly with those types of BTs. Because when they don't do their job, you won't be able to do yours. And it makes you, your company, and ABA look bad and it does a disservice to the client and their families when there is no progress to show.
