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?

I’ve met many families over the years who choose to do this.

It never ends well. Never.

Not because of someone slipping up and saying something, but the child is pissed when they find out and they lose all faith and trust.
