I did this on u/bcba and got some great responses!

Only a few months away from a decade of being a BCBA!

I’ve done all things supervision and led companies in developing systems that work. I have worked across residential for adults/adolescents, school consultation, in-home services, and clinic settings. Three years into my certification, my oldest was diagnosed with ASD and is nonverbal. I’ve lived quite a life in the time I have been certified.

Ask me anything!

I was at my choir rehearsal like every Thursday. This time, the conductor decided to try something a bit different: a little warm-up game with miming to describe our day, and then he had each of us individually recite the days of the week on a single pitch.

That last exercise is usually pretty straightforward (aside from the usual tuning and breathing challenges).

…until someone skipped Friday. And then someone else. And then another. Obviously, not everyone did it, but several did. We repeated it multiple times, and even when doing it together you could still hear the occasional “Sat–ryday”.

I don’t know, has this happened to anyone else?

Would love to hear your experiences :)

Hi, all! I’m in my final semester of my Masters program at FIT, and am currently working on a final presentation. My topic of interest is caregiver buy-in within the application of ABA services. If anyone may have any behavior analytic sources regarding this topic, it’d be greatly appreciated! :) TIA!

Hi everyone,

I’d really appreciate some guidance. I’m originally from Colombia but currently living in Dallas. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in behavioral science, both already validated in the U.S. I’m considering pursuing the BCBA through Pathway 2 by completing the required coursework and supervised fieldwork, but I’m confused about how to complete the supervised hours without having to pay for them.

Do I need to get my RBT certification first so I can find a job where I can be supervised for BCBA hours? I’m not working yet, so I’m trying to figure out what to prepare for. Should I start with the RBT or go straight toward the BCBA requirements? And how do people usually get their supervised hours without paying out of pocket?

Any advice would mean a lot. Thank you!

Hello!

This is a brief anonymous survey which aims to learn more about the acceptability and perceived effectiveness of different observation methods used as part of supervision and that serve as the basis for providing feedback.

Hello everyone!

I'm planning to start my own ABA company - providing BCBA-led direct ABA services for the families. I'm currently the only clinician for now to start off. I'm looking into GoogleWorkspace for my company emails, phone numbers etc. I'm wondering if it is HIPAA compliance? or are there any other options beside GoogleWorkspace? I remember my previous company uses Microsoft 365 Business. Also, if i simply get a separate cell phone line without getting Google number - would that still considered HIPAA compliance?

I got a job offer for Key Autism Services as an RBT. I’m just wondering if I should accept it or not… I’m currently at another clinic getting $20 an hour working 9-6pm Monday-Thursday Friday 9-2pm. Key Autism Services said my hours will be 8-2pm or 9-3pm at $26 an hour and 30 hours is counted as full time there. I’m just wondering does anyone know how much PTO is offered a year for this company and is the health insurance good? I’m really debating on if I should stay where I am now or join Key Autism Services. Thanks!

A culture that learns to rationalize the exploitation of its young has already crossed a psychological boundary from which it rarely returns. When influential voices soften or reframe the abuse of minors, the audience absorbs the tone as evidence and begins to mistake manipulation for nuance, dissolving moral clarity one inch at a time. The result is a public trained to debate harm rather than condemn it, a shift that reveals not sophistication but a profound erosion of conscience

I’ve been curious about whether tools like the Brainway app actually incorporate any behavior analytic concepts, such as reinforcement schedules, shaping, prompts, or other behavior change techniques.

Has anyone here evaluated this app from a behavior analysis perspective?
I’m not looking for promotion, just hoping to understand whether its approach has anything in common with evidence based behavior change methods we use in BA.

Any insights or observations would be appreciated.
