Ethical Issues in School-Based ABA Services (3 hrs, 3.0 Ethics CEU’s)

BCBAs provide interventions to a wide variety of consumers in a wide variety of settings. As the application of services grows in the K-12 school setting, so too grows the potential for ethical issues to arise in practice. In this webinar, school-based ethical situations will be discussed. Each will be outlined, discussed in light of the Code of Ethics and a set of recommendations given. These recommendations come from the BCBA perspective as well as from a special education lens.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Attendees will identify, through a review of case studies, the ethical codes that apply to common ethical dilemmas arising in school-based ABA service provision.
  2. Attendees will explore how to prevent such ethical dilemmas at the outset of a professional relationship,
  3. Attendees will discuss strategies for addressing such dilemmas when they do occur.
