Unit 3 Part 3: Navigating Ethical Practice - Responsibility to Clients and Stakeholders
Manage episode 496763654 series 3679799
In this episode, Charon and Laomedeia dive into the complex responsibilities behavior analysts hold—not just to their clients, but to a wide circle of stakeholders including families, schools, and funding sources. They explore topics like informed consent, third-party contracts, service agreements, and what happens when treatment must be reduced or discontinued. Drawing from Bailey & Burch’s Ethics for Behavior Analysts (4th Ed.), the conversation unpacks ethical dilemmas BCBAs face daily—like pushback from funding sources, balancing client care with agency demands, and advocating for appropriate services. If you’ve ever wondered who the real client is, or what to do when service ends unexpectedly, this episode breaks it down with clarity and humor.
