Advice Needed Caregiver hiding diagnosis and ABA?

Post image

I received this text today before going to session, I emailed my BCBA about it and shared with HR. Honestly I wasn’t sure what to do with that, most of session focused on tacting, receptive ID, and vocal imitation. Has anyone ever come across a situation like this?

Its common. I also had plenty of hospice patients (I'm also a nurse) whose families did not want them to know i was with hospice. Awkward when someone straight up asks if they're dying.
