You obtained your Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) certification 3-months ago

Scenario:

You obtained your Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) certification 3-months ago. You went from working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), as you accumulated your required supervised fieldwork hours, to a position as a BCaBA with the same company. Suddenly, you had more authority to make decisions regarding your clients’ treatment programs, as well as an increased case load.

Shortly after you took on your new role as a BCaBA, you met with the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who is supervising you to discuss expectations regarding your new position. During the meeting, your supervisor said that the company manager has a requirement that you request 10-hours per week of one-on-one therapy for each new client the company serves when submitting your requests for hours to your clients’ insurance providers. Your supervisor also told you that you will be training RBTs to implement the behavior intervention plans (BIPs) so that you can oversee as many clients as possible. From your experience working with your current clients, you realized that not every client requires 10-hours of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy per week and you asked, “What if each new client does not require that many therapy hours?” Your supervisor responded that it is an unwritten company policy. Suddenly, you were faced with an ethical dilemma and you had to decide how best to handle the situation.

Before writing your essay, complete the Seven Step Model to Analyzing Complex Ethical Issues template. Then, use the scenario and the information included in your Seven Step Model to write a 4-5 page essay, not including title and reference pages, addressing the following:

• The ethical dilemma (Summarize the case.)
• The relevant codes in this case based upon the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) “Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts.”
• The Ethical Level of Complexity of the case based upon the “Complexity Matrix” discussed in Chapter 3 of your textbook. Provide your rationale for your decision.
• Identify the “players” in this case and discuss the risks to each of not resolving the ethical issue(s), as well as the risks involved in attempting to resolve the issue(s).
• Explain each of your contingency plans (Plans A, B, and C) to resolve this dilemma and discuss whether you have the skills and the “clout” to carry out each plan.
• Explain how you documented each step in your approaches to resolve the ethical dilemma, i.e., evidence of your honorable intentions, and why this documentation is important.
