| Abstract: Applied behavior analysts working in service delivery settings face a variety of ethical challenges, both obvious and subtle. Although some ethical problems can be easily addressed, most involve situations in which the professional's options are limited in some way. Some situations even require compromises or require a long-term effort to resolve. This panel discussion will consider real world scenarios involving a ethical challenges often faced by applied behavior analysts working in service delivery scenarios. Each panel member will begin by presenting an ethical problem they are familiar with and discussing ways of resolving the issue. The Behavior Analyst Certification Board's Guidelines for Responsible Conduct of Behavior Analysts will serve as the context for discussion and resolution of ethical problems. Audience members will be invited to present ethical challenges they face, and panel members will discuss possible resolutions. The audience will be invited to join the discussion and contribute their views. |
