What a typical day at UAA looks like:

Our BCBAs and techs arrive at least 15 mins prior to clients at 8:15, just in time for a quick morning meeting with coworkers. Get your schedule for the day and get ready for clients to arrive! Clients begin to arrive at 8:30 and techs begin the daily schedule customized for each client. Some days involve community outings that techs attend as a group with clients. We could go to the park, swimming pool, grocery store, gym, or maybe a restaurant! Customize community outings based on the needs of your clients!! At the center and on our community outings, we focus on daily living skills, increasing communication skills, social skills, pre academics, and learning to access the community. The day is broken up into 3 sessions. After each of our 3 sessions, techs have a change in clients. We make sure they have variety throughout the day, while also making sure they are familiar with the clients they are working with. Our clients leave by 3:30 each day. Techs stay for an afternoon meeting to get face time with other techs and the BCBAs and leave at or before 4:00. An afternoon staff meeting one day a week will run until 5:00.
