At 6:00 pm for consultation.\u00a0 We will be discuss about our transition team and the barriers that we encounter and review client service agreement.&#8221; &#8211; Mrs. Nhu responded.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I said yes because I want my boy to be back in ABA sessions as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u00a0 5:30 PM, ABA technician Dan showed up at my house.\u00a0 I was so surprised; I thought all sessions were canceled until we had a talk with Mrs. Nhu later this evening.<\/p>\n<p>6:00 PM at my house. Mrs. Nhu came.\u00a0 She was surprised that she saw Dan at my house too.<\/p>\n<p>So after Dan left, Mrs. Nhu &amp; I sat down on the table to talk.\u00a0 It turned out it was not the payment issue with RCOC like I thought.\u00a0 It was me who caused the issue!<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the ABA technician Dan sent email to every one in the team that he felt &#8220;uncomfortable walking into a client house knowing that he&#8217;s recorded&#8221;.\u00a0 And that he requested to cancel all sessions with William last week!\u00a0 I almost cried!\u00a0 Is that it? he should know that we have security camera all around the house and in the living room where the ABA sessions taken place.\u00a0 &#8220;He suspected that I took photo of him&#8221;.\u00a0 This I did not deny; I got the new iPhone so I was testing the various portrait modes in the iPhone 8 Plus: I took several pictures of him and William during the session on Tuesday.\u00a0 I did not know that made him felt uncomfortable and did not want to continue the sessions; but why did he show up today acting like nothing happened? That Mrs. Nhu could not understand either!<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, we had a long and clear conversation about the issue; Mrs. Nhu proposed the solution is to cover the camera in the living room whenever we have sessions with her staffs; and I will never take photos or videos of the sessions.\u00a0 I cried toward the end of the meeting; mostly because I think it&#8217;s just a silly reason that the sessions were cancelled.\u00a0 A few pictures would cause that big of a issue? (I cried later at night too; I felt so sad thinking that having an autistic child is hard enough, why people would add more to my burden because of some non sense reasons.\u00a0 I just simply don&#8217;t understand why people can be so sensitive about a few pictures.).<\/p>\n<p>Thursday Morning.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Nhu sent me email confirming the sessions would be resumed started today with Kevin.\u00a0 And that Dan would be out of the case; and Mrs. Han will replace him.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m relieved that William can continue to learn.\u00a0 I think he has been learning a lot from these sessions; that&#8217;s why I so value them and the ABA staffs that teaching him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday 2:30 PM.
