Connections Behavior Planning and Intervention welcomes Dr. Matthew Brodhead, BCBA-D, for a very workable approach to Ethics Training & Supervision!
Abstract:
Professional and ethical behaviors are critical for high quality care and consumer protection. By using behavioral systems, behavior analysts may increase the probability of employees engaging in professional and ethical behaviors. Behavioral systems may also help employees protect their own professional credentials and licenses. This presentation will survey the basic components of behavioral systems analysis (BSA) and how BSA may be used in practice to promote ethical behavior. Then, it will discuss examples of behavioral systems analysis, including a real-life case study in which BSA was used to remediate sanctions that resulted from a violation of the BACB Code. The presentation will also discuss strengths and limitations of systems that standardize decision-making, derived from cutting edge applied research. Finally, the presentation will also address ways in which behavior analysts may independently engage in ethical behaviors to protect their own credentials and licenses. Ultimately, this presentation aims to provide a pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and socially-valid approach to ethics that focuses on teaching employees “what to do” in certain situations, instead of using a punitive “how not to behave” approach.

He is also the co-guest editor for the forthcoming special issue in Behavior Analysis in Practice on diversity and equity in the practice of behavior analysis. Through workshops and consultation, he has established multiple school-based programs for children with autism, and he has provided training to teachers, related service providers, and behavior analysts both nationally and internationally. Finally, he specializes in program evaluation for both applied behavior analysis and public school placements for individuals with autism.
