Ethical and Professional Issues for Behavior Analysts

I (Missy) have started teaching a course for the University of Saint Joseph in their approved BCBA coursework. I am super excited the opportunity. However, instead of teaching

instructional methodology like I usually do, I’m teaching the course on Ethical and Professional issues. This topic is not new to me because Rebecca and I have been conducting a number of workshops and webinars on Ethical Issues. But, prepping for and teaching a semester-long course on Ethical Issues is new to me.

I hope to use case studies to expose these professionals in training to many situations. What I would like from my readers is some assistance with case studies. I plan on using the Association for Professional Behavior Analysts and of course I have the best book by Bailey and Burch. But I would love add more case studies. So, take a few minutes and post about an ethical or professional issue regarding behavior analysis. This could be from a BCBA who has been placed in a difficult situation, this could be from a teacher or building principal who has seen a behavior analyst make an unethical decision, this could be from a parent who was placed in a difficult situation by a behavior analyst.

I want to thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!
