Asking around, does anyone know any applications for scholarships or grants for people pursuing a field in BCABA?

Please, yes! I just got certified as a BCaBA, so I should have marketable job skills.

Today during supervision, a BCaBA told me that austic children need ABA so that they won't be too weird to make friends when they get to school.

Note: in phase 2, N=44 providers were surveyed, of whom N=31 were RBTs, N=1 was a BCABA, N=1 was a BCBA, & N=8 "indicated no coursework in behavior analysis. Although these eight individuals indicated no formal coursework, they were providing behavior analytic services to autistic individuals"

In learning theory, there's something called "extinction burst." I think we're approaching that now.

The problem is that the tiniest bit of reinforcement (a midterm win for example) will likely be enough reinforcement.

I think its more that we are experiencing an extinction burst from literal high school children who are finding it increasingly difficult to find relevance in a scene that doesn't favor clout anymore, and hasn't for close to a decade.

**When I provided documents and spreadsheets for my former BCaBA job, they came from the perspective of a disabled person. This helped refocus the work on client needs instead of societal needs. That's a pretty big deal.

My old boss still reaches out sometimes. She didn't have a choice in me leaving. She wanted my job made permanent, and HER boss refused.

I got asked for documents/spreadsheets for years after leaving my BCaBA job.

If I leave on good terms, I help. My former supervisor is fighting a battle with a department head. She and her direct supervisor did everything they could.

My BCaBA job was always temporary. It was a practicum placement. I don't mind helping.

So, even my dad admits now that Medicaid is going to be cut under Trump/Musk. Medicaid is how I, a BCaBA, pay the bills that allow me to support him and my mother. But good news! My dad thinks this is a POSITIVE thing, and that my clinic will make more money relying only on private insurance.

I think what we're seeing here the Trump Regime's extinction burst. Maybe not for the Alt-Right, but I think when he's gone, it will start falling apart soon after. www.mnautism.org/extinction-b...

I think this might apply...

His previously reinforced behavior of doing whatever the fuck he wants and seeing the Markets not panic is no longer the case and this fucker is doubling down.
