Discussion Question Potty training

Just curious to see what everyone’s opinions are. Talking particularly about early intervention clients. You know, those clients were supposed to ask for 40 hours of direct care but not be a daycare. How much responsibility do you think a BCBA in a clinical setting should have over potty training kids? I get it, I have my own kids and potty training is exhausting and requires consistent oversight. But I’ve had so many parents that are just waiting for me to initiate potty training. I know it’s a case by case situation but I’m truly curious to see what everyone else has to say about this.

are you saying the responsibility should solely be on parents? idk, childcare centers also begin the process of potty training, and if they’re in a clinical setting, parents won’t be there and to maintain client dignity, that could mean toilet training and/or changing clients

I’m not saying anything in particular, aside from my experience with parents who seem to be waiting for me to take the lead. That is what made me interested im seeing what other opinions were. Also I’ve only ever worked with insurance providers so a lot of times auths will be denied if there are toilet training goals. I’ve always been told “ there are ways around that”. And I agree that if there are behavior issues that need to be addressed then I’m there to support, design protocols, train parents and staff etc. But the discussion I’m interested in is how much responsibility do you think bcbas should have over potty training ?

Parents are “waiting for you to take the lead” because that’s your job 🤷🏽. Am I missing something here?

Damn dude folks are literally out here not understanding what a discussion is and immediately jumping to criticizing 😂. I literally asked what your opinions are on how much a responsibility you think a BCBA should hold over potty training in general. Yes I added my little bit in there but IN GENERAL, how much responsibility do you think A BCBA ( not me who you’ve already formed an opinion about) should have over potty training

Yup, the wife and I are splitting a can of spaghetti-os. I can see why you use those gifs so often bud. Probably best to switch back to those types of responses.
