Ethics in Applied Behavior Analysis: Case Studies and Discussion, Assignments of High Speed Electronics and Optoelectronics
A series of case studies related to ethical considerations in applied behavior analysis (aba). Each case study involves a specific scenario where a bcba (board certified behavior analyst) faces an ethical dilemma. A framework for analyzing these dilemmas by identifying relevant ethical codes, discussing potential violations, and exploring possible courses of action. This resource is valuable for students of aba as it provides practical examples of ethical challenges and encourages critical thinking about ethical decision-making in the field.

2. Case 72: Deonna Haley Applicable Ethics Code(s)
Rationale for Chosen Code(s):
3.07- Third-Party Contracts for Services
At the onset of the contract, the BCBA is responsible for clarifying the relationship with all
stakeholders. If the parent understood this, there would not have been any misunderstanding
when it was time to provide the report.
3.08- Responsibility to the Client with Third-Party Contracts for Services
BCBAs have a responsibility to their client regarding their care and welfare.
3.09- Communicating with Stakeholders About Third-Party Contracted Services
BCBA must get permission from the parent to administer the assessment as well as the rights
of all stakeholders.
Code Violation? No
3. Case 74 (Kassandra Hidalgo) Monty, a BCBA, has reasonable suspicion that one of the learners he works with may be the victim of child abuse. Upon receiving this information, he immediately contacts Child Protective Services and completes the necessary steps in filing a child abuse report. About 1 week later, Monty receives an phone call from the learner’s parents. While they do not know for sure that Monty filed the abuse report, they believe he was the one who made the call. The parents stated they were never told their information could be shared with others for any reason and believed their identities would be protected under any circumstance.
Applicable
Ethics Code(s)
Responsibility to Clients 3.04 Service Agreement 3.10 Limitations of Confidentiality
Rationale for Chosen Code(s):
3.01 Responsibility to Clients: Monty's primary responsibility is to act in the best interest of
the learner, which includes complying with mandated reporting laws to protect the learner
from harm.
3.04 Service Agreement: A In-depth service agreement should have included information
about confidentiality and the circumstances under which it can be breached.
3.10 Limitations of Confidentiality: Monty should have communicated to the parents about
confidentiality, specifically that information may need to be shared if there is suspicion of
abuse.
Code
Violation?
Yes
5. Case 81: (Juliana Miano)
Applicable Ethics Code(s)
Rationale for Chosen Code(s): 3.13 Referrals: This scenario deals specifically with referrals. In this code it states the importance of disclosing personal relationships and any incentives provided that are included within a referral. While it seems Gabe was unaware of the fact that the tickets were a “thank you” for the referrals, we need to know whether or not he informed his clients following the situation for all further referrals. Code Violation? Needs More Information
6. Case 83: (Juliana Miano)
Applicable Ethics Code(s)
Rationale for Chosen Code(s): 3.01 Responsibility to Clients: It is the BCBA’s responsibility to ensure that the most effective treatment is being provided to clients. Chereika’s transition to natural environment and community teaching following the process to discontinue services was an appropriate way to ensure the client received the treatment he needed. 3.12 Advocating for Appropriate Services: This ethics code is applicable because it is important that the BCBA ensure they advocate for the appropriate treatment, service, and amount of service for their client. We need to know if Chereika will challenge Troy’s family because she knows he is ready to graduate from ABA, or if she will simply comply. 3.15 Appropriately discontinuing services: This ethics code is applicable because in the scenario Chereika appropriate;y took the steps to discontinue services with Troy by fading into natural environment learning and slowly decreasing hours instead of completely cutting him off as soon as she figured he was ready to graduate. This is extremely important in ABA in order to ensure a smooth transition for the client. Code Violation? If situation continues
