Dear RBTs: The Heartbeat of ABA (Sticky Hands, Data Sheets, and All)

Every silly game, prompt, and data point you collect is more than routine —
it’s quietly rewriting what’s possible for your clients, even on days that feel like endless bubbles and snack negotiations.

Some days you’ll walk out feeling like a superhero when a child asks for “more” independently;
other days it might feel like your biggest achievement was keeping the puzzle pieces off the floor — but both matter.

Remember: your patience, humor, and presence are what make real change happen.

Trust your training, lean on your team for fresh ideas, and sprinkle laughter everywhere —
it keeps sessions fun for your clients and keeps your own spark alive.

Progress sometimes whispers instead of shouting:
a shorter meltdown, a longer glance, or a brave new sound.
Celebrate those moments, because they’re signs of the bigger story you’re helping write.

You’re not “just” running programs —
you’re building trust, hope, and small daily victories that lead to lifelong change,
and that makes you truly irreplaceable.
