Ethics in the Real World

“Sometimes [situations] are not black and white, but the more we talk about them, the better we will be at applying the ethical code.”

Abstract

Applying the BACB’s Professional and Ethical Compliance Code Using Real-World Examples.

As you have gone into the “real world,” you probably found yourself in situations that you never thought you would encounter. Uninformed parents? Pseudoscientific treatments?  Facilitated communication? Work-life balance? These presenters use real-life examples from their time as practicing professionals to apply the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s Professional and Ethical Compliance Code to a variety of scenarios. Scenarios include the areas of child welfare, traumatic brain injury, autism spectrum disorder, applied behavior analysis clinics, controversial medical interventions, supervision, and academic settings.
