Adaptation Station

Back in November, I teased that I was starting a new position at my center. On December 1, I announced I was a part-time salary BCBA. I originally intended this podcast to be released that day but due to a number of issues, it kept getting pushed back.

3 months later we are finally releasing it! Truth be told that is a good thing! I know more about the position now, can truly explain my role, and help you all understand what my life looks like now! Enjoy!!

This covers everything you need to know about getting CEUs as a BCBA, including:

Peer Reviews are one of the most stressful things I have gone through as a BCBA. They make me super anxious but I have figured out some tips that help. I narrowed it down to 5 overall things that I do before meetings. In this podcast, we cover what treatment plans are, the 4 most common things I have happen with my treatment plans, and my tips for when I do have to go to a peer review.

You guys have heard about my monthly plans many times-they used to be my favorite thing! But they just were not working anymore, and that is okay. Routines and schedules can change from season to season, year to year. Adjust to match what you need right now.

This short podcast covers what I am trying in Quarter 2 and the projects I have coming down the pike. We will do a recap in July to see if the new system worked and if I got everything accomplished.

I love planners and to-do lists so much that I keep 4 separate ones. Intense, I know but I THRIVE off of structure. In today's episode, I will take about the 4 different types I use and how they work together. You absolutely do not need to use all 4, but I hope it gives you a lot of different ideas to try if you are struggling with structure as well!
