About this title

Synopsis

This practical textbook will enable students training to become Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs™) to fully understand and follow the new RBTŪ Ethics Code administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACBŪ).

Starting with an overview of the role of ethics and core ethical principles, subsequent chapters provide concrete guidance for each of the three sections of the RBTŪ Ethics Code: responsible conduct, responsibility to clients, and competence and service delivery. The authors then show correct and incorrect applications of each code item and provide practical examples and solutions for applying each section to everyday practice. Also included are test questions where RBTs™ can test themselves on their newfound knowledge, along with a glossary, the complete RBTŪ Code of Ethics, and suggested readings. Last, Appendix D, "Considerations and Conversation Starters," will help RBT™ trainers quickly focus on specific code items and presenting scenarios for discussion and role-plays.

This book is intended to serve as a primary text for the training of RBTs™ as well as a reference and study guide for these RBTs™ and their trainers.
