I had a feeling this was coming. After some missed sessions and communication snafus, James' ABA BI person of almost a year is leaving us. It makes sense, they are a recent graduate and it's rare to remain in one place at that time of life.
However, James is supposed to have 5 days a week of ABA. Now, he will have none.
This is not the first time we've had this happen. Like teachers, ABA workers are usually not paid enough for what they have to do. Our kids take a lot of attention and patience. While I think the experience of working with special needs clients has rewards beyond money, it does take a lot out of a person.
In the past, losing all ABA services would have hit me hard. Now that we've weathered this loss several ties, I can take it more in stride. I can even see it as an opportunity of more time for James to try new things. Because now that we are settled in our new home and James in his school, we can do that.
James still really needs his ABA services, however.
