Those who work with kids with autism/applied behavior analysis

I posted something about this yesterday, but I think it was accidentally deleted somehow. If it shows up again, my apologies for the repost!

I am currently a preschool teacher but have been considering a career change. I've worked with special needs students in my classes, including students with autism. I noticed that there are several ABA centers in my area that are currently hiring therapists. I'm interested in the position, but would like to learn a little more first.

If you work with autistic kids/ABA, could you tell me what your typical day is like? What are the challenges/rewards? What do you love and hate about your job? Thanks in advance!

Re: Those who work with kids with autism/applied behavior analysis

  • I am also a pre-school teacher, I have a child with downsyndrome in my class. He doesnt speak and isolates himself in class alot. I know the therapist lady that has came to do consults in our class has shared the frustrations she has with him in particular but they include, overwehelmed when there is no show of progress, frustration with the lack of parental concern and consistancy in working with the child. Getting and keeping interest or attention. The rewards for her, she shared are when the kids love you and they dont want you to leave after the hour. When you see the progress of the child.  I hope this helps you some.
