Study Group Topic: Ethical Considerations and Practices for Certified Behaviour Analysts Working with Interdisciplinary Teams
Date: Wednesday, September 26th, 2018
Time: 7:00 - 8:45 p.m. Atlantic Time
Location: online (Zoom web conferencing - https://zoom.us/)
We will review and discuss two recently-published articles that address this topic and provide decision-making models and suggested processes to assist certified behaviour analysts who work as members of interdisciplinary teams or whose clients are supported by multiple professionals representing a range of helping professions.
The documents that will be discussed are available online at the links below. The focus of the online study group will be to examine similarities and differences between the models and recommendations presented in the two articles, considering the potential benefits and also the potential challenges of each for behaviour analysts in general, and for your own professional practice and context.
Specific guiding questions will be circulated to registered participants in advance of the study group. However, as you review the information and prepare for the online study group, please make note of your thoughts and questions, and bring these to the study group for further discussion.
