We have in home treatments for the majority of our therapies. On the whole it is ideal to have at home but we do work in clinic and take therapies out in the community, classes, etc.
All that said, our BCBA will turn up to our home unannounced a few times a month. She doesn’t let us know when she’s coming and from the looks on the BTs faces when there is a knock on the door, they are surprised she is there. We have had other BCBAs in the past—one who turned up once a month, always planned… read more
You are correct in thinking this is peculiar. I would pull out your contract and see if there is anything written in fine print stating that they can or might make un-announced visits. It is doubtful, as they are not CPS. That being said, I would politely sit her down and explain that it is inconvenient and disruptive for her to visit unannounced. jGet out a calendar and schedule several visits in advance, which is what she should be doing with you anyway. Structure and consistency is important, therefore, unannounced visits are counter productive to what they are trying to achieve with your child and family. If the intrusions continue after speaking with her, speak to her boss.
I can ask my sons aba team...see what they think?...it could be anything from a new treatment plan to your insurance...let me see what i can find out
HI i think having a conversation with her will help, she may not feel that her showing up when she likes is distrupting your plans since you have really not complain about it, i just hope she is the understanding type, sending you Hugs.
Oh I am so glad the stories are checking out 😎 Thank you for the intel!!! It takes a village 💕
Thank you @A MyAutismTeam Member ! That is so kind of you. I am
So happy to report that the reason for the increase is because the BTs are migrating to a new tablet/digital tracking system (vs paper binders before). The increase is to support that and make faster changes to overall programming. Such a weight lifted! I mean she is still coming to our home more frequently but at least it feels far less intrusive and mysterious as to why!!!! 🙃 And we set some ground rules on having her tell us when she is coming and which days to avoid. Honestly I think this was a rookie move on her part, but glad I kept pushing for clarity. Communication = key!!!!
Thank you MAT, you carried me through this!!!!
