I'm a functioning adult who was diagnosed with autism as a teen. A job like this seems like something I want to try. I hope I can be a living example for kids to look up to.
I speak from experience qh3n I say that yes, it's tough, but it is truly rewarding. The kids aren't the only one in a therapeutic environment. You learn a thing or two as well
I would not recommend this job if you get overstimulated easily. I also have autism and I can’t handle it, their overstimulation/outbursts cause me to become overstimulated and burnout occurs very, very fast
I’ve been an RBT for almost three years. I love how you explained this job! I met this 8 year old who would have 20 high magnitude SIB and 50 low magnitude SIB in a day. It was a struggle bus mentality, but now he is about to go to a school setting! It wasn’t easy, but has been the most rewarding journey to be on.
@@AngelCurtis-oi7nlGo for it!! You can do it.. I have interview today for entry level RBT.. companies are hiring everywhere and you can get training there..
I’m a high functioning ASD parent of a daughter with the same diagnosis. I just applied for a BT position. I’m excited to see where this leads! Hopefully a new career. I think it’s time for a change, and a positive one at that.😁
what undergraduate or graduate degree did you need? i'm just starting and I want to go into BcBa but Idk if I can go straight to that path w/o trying aba...plz help!!
@@SugaChellez Try working for the local public schools as an instructional aid for special needs there is always alot of need and will give ;you the experience you may need to figure out if this is the job for you for an rbt. just call the local school district to elementary and see their requierements youll do a background check and a proficiency test. hope this helps
Hello! You were the reason I became an RBT and since day one I have loved it! I first was a in-clinic RBT and now I work in a school. Because schools have so many off days iv recently been thinking of becoming an in-home RBT part time but I’m extremely scared and nervous. Could you please make a video with tips and info on how to be successful when doing in-home? My main fear is possibly not having support on tough days
I have a son with autism. He was diagnosed when he was 3 years old. He is 6 now. Since we got the diagnosis, I dived in and read a lot of books and materials regarding autism. I am considering becoming an RBT, but I am a little nervous if it will be overwhelming for me. Autism at work and at home. But I really think I can make a difference in someone's life, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for it yet.
I am in the transportation industry and I want to be a financial planner. I personally think knowing the behaviors of why your clients do what they do is very important and for a deeper meaning, I believe a therapist should work along side financial advisors/planners so that both their wallets and their underlining problems can be resolved.
Thank you so much for this video I have been working in the mental health field for 20 some years was about 21 years old and I am currently 44 years old I absolutely love what I do I can say I'm good at what I do and I at the end of the day all that matters is that I definitely made a difference and child / adults life I recently I'm going to be going for an rvt which I am absolutely ecstatic over the moon and I am aware of the job duties that until I start the orientation I kind of wanted to get a little bit more information on exactly what to expect and your video is breaking it down and making me even actually even more excited to begin this journey thanks a lot I really appreciate it sending love to you all the way from Pennsylvania kudos to you
Thanks for your videos, their very informative and interesting. I am an rbt myself already. But I am struggling to do my resume cause I don't have experience as an rbt. Although, I have a kid who is autistic. That would be the most experience I would say I have with autism. It would be very nice of you to do a video about how to make a resume with little or no experience in the ABA field, please. It would be very much appreciated it. Thank you. 🤗🙏🤗
See if your surrounding public school district have opening for the school year to work in the especial education classes nas an instructional aid sub they will just ask for a background check and a profiency test . That how i started and it works for my schedule with kids in grade school hope this helps
I got hired for an ABA Therapy - BT Position at a center that I applied for on indeed with no experience in this field or prior training. They will be training me through the company/center. Is this normal or was this a once in a lifetime moment? Lol I have 8 hours of onboaring training to do this week. ABA Experience was preferred but they said they "will train motivated individuals."
@@kimokat I have a free ebook coming out very soon answering this question. As soon as it’s ready I’ll tag you. Until then just know, nothing is really “free”.
This would have been me, however, I decided to check their reviews on job search sites... I know what she means by nothing is free. You will either pay for it in mental stress from the type of cases you are given or the lack of support from management depending on the company. I believe typically, the agencies providing "free" training will expect you to stay with the company for a certain length of time.
I've been in and out of a lot of jobs over the years and have not felt like I'm accomplishing anything. I have felt directionless and lost when it comes to life and often question what do I really want. I'm on the spectrum and that has created added challenges to my whole life. I have been job searching a lot and I keep seeing places looking for RBTs. I don't know if that's God trying to give me a sign that this might be worth pursuing. I'm trying to do some research and watch videos because I want to be 100% sure if I want to try this career. It sounds like it can be a tough job but also very rewarding and as someone who is on the spectrum I can understand these ASD individuals. The only main concern I have is do I have to work with young children or can I specifically work with teenagers or young adults only? I'm not the best with kids but teenagers and young adults might be better for me. Any insight will be helpful as I am trying to research and learn more anout this career.
I'm going to be located in school settings. Bit nervous. I worked with seniors and adults in a recreational center before, but not as a BT. Hope I do well.
Yes I have what it takes. I love helping people my son was diagnosed with adhd. I am studying for my bachelors degree in human services for family therapy or youth. Do I have patience yea I do have patience.
I have an interview as one Monday but I’m kinda nervous because I have a speech impediment and I don’t feel like I’m really smart for this job but I also want to try something new.
I have an interview tomorrow and I’m also nervous! As I have never worked. I went from high school straight to college and had to drop out due to being a mom. Good luck!
I am a classroom instructional assistant at an elementary school. I’ve worked with all kinds of kids the last five years mostly in Pre K /kindergarten age group. My question is how many clients would you say RBT work with at a time or throughout the day?
Hey, I'm an RBT who's working for a larger company. Some fellow RBT's and I are in the early stages of researching how to unionize. It seems like it's not a very common thing for RBT's to do and I was wondering if you had any thoughts or experiences with that?
Thinking of becoming an Rbt I’ve been in the early childhood field for 4 years now. And I’m wanting to try something different I’m just nervous to take the step any advice out there?
I just hate the lack of full time work at least in my location. I had to turn down jobs for ABA for that reason. Due to my experience as a retired counselor I get lots of ABA suggestions
I am so happy to come across this and I can't wait to be part of the Heroes who help children become their better self is a great thing to sew them become better
Big question!! Can anyone help! While completing supervision hours for obtaining BCABA are you able to get paid during those supervised hours? Like as a behavioral tech or as an RBT? Or is it unpaid time that you have to figure out how to complete without making money.
@@ABASource okay you so can get hired on by a company with certified supervisors and get paid while completing hours? My girlfriend was very concerned about this aspect. I’m gonna do my best to help
