OBM Series - Module 1: Common Ethical Dilemmas - Dr. Jon Bailey

This training does not provide CEU.

Description: The ethical conduct of both professionals who provide behavior analytic services and those organizations that employ them is critically important in the field of behavior analysis. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are governed by the BACB's Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts. Unfortunately, organizations that employ BCBAs are not held to the same standard. In actuality, as yet, ABA agencies are not held to any ethical standards.

In our Organizational Ethics Series, we will explore this topic using a systems approach. The global autism ecosystem is comprised of many different parties, some of whom with conflicting agendas. And yet, in order to provide children, adolescents, and adults with the services they medically need, each member of the ecosystem must work together and do their part to fulfill their obligations. It is when members of this ecosystem fail to ethically discharge their obligations that things being to change -- for the worse.
