Ethical Considerations in Applied Behavior Analysis Practice
ABA practitioners prioritize informed consent, ensuring that clients or their guardians fully understand the treatment process. Confidentiality is strictly maintained to protect client information. Respecting client autonomy involves involving them in treatment decisions. Practitioners aim for the best interests of their clients, balancing beneficence and non-maleficence. Additionally, maintaining professional boundaries is crucial to uphold the integrity of the therapeutic relationship. Ethical adherence ensures that ABA therapy is conducted responsibly, respectfully, and with the client's best interests at heart.
