I Should Basically Be the BCBA

Okay but like… I’ve been a certified technician for 9 coming up on 10, months, and sometimes I feel like I know as much as my supervisor. I mean, I run the programs, I see what works, I know the client, so why do I need supervision every week? And why can’t I just modify the program if I feel like it?? If I think the target is boring, I should be able to change it; I’m the one implementing it.
Also I don’t see why supervisors get paid more, we’re doing the same thing except they “write the plan.” I just feel like the hierarchy is unnecessary, it is suffocating and an unfari power dinamic. I should be trusted to do that without asking, and if a client’s guardian asks me a treatment question, I don’t see why I can’t answer it directly instead of “deferring to my supervisor.” I’m capable and smart and very good!!! Honestly, I think certified technicians should have way more authority; we’re basically running the show kind of.
