Hi !!

I’m brand new to the ABA field and currently learning how to support autistic children. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and social sciences, and I’m about to begin my master’s program in ABA.

I previously worked as a BT for about one month before I was let go. It was discouraging, but I still want to learn, improve, and continue in this field. Since I only have about a month of direct experience, I know I have a lot to learn.

What advice would you give someone at the very beginning of their ABA career? Are there any skills, resources, workplace red flags, or lessons you wish you had known when you first started?
