The 2022 BCBA Ethics Code is often perceived to be a list of rules — dos and don'ts that BCBAs must adhere to in order to stay in "compliance." At 22 pages, it provides a very comprehensive framework to govern clinical practice and professional conduct. Yet at the end of the day, unless practitioners apply the Ethics Code as it was intended — to push the field to strive for the highest level of quality possible, with a humanistic, compassionate perspective — it's nothing more than a bunch of words.
In this series, we take a different approach to ethics training: using the BCBA Ethics Code as a guidepost to examine common ethical violations and dilemmas as reported by practitioners, parents, and other stakeholders, using a multi-contextual approach. Each scenario is analyzed by Dr. Jon Bailey, whose knowledge of the BCBA Ethics Code supersedes that of any other person in the world. With the help of our panelists — experienced practitioners who live and breathe the situations covered in the ethics code daily — we also examine each scenario from the perspective of identifying practical solutions to guide practitioners in their decision-making process.
During the 2-hour webinar, we briefly review the history and evolution of the BCBA Ethics Code and the Summary of Ethics Violations as published by the BACB. The remainder of the time is spent on Section 1 — Responsibility as a Professional, reviewing situations and scenarios submitted by practitioners through Dr. Bailey's Ethics Hotline and other mediums. If you couldn't attend the live webinar, the recorded version is available on demand.
