Does the BACB enforce its ethics codes?
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is responsible for certifying professionals in the world of behavior analysis. Your child may be working with a behaviorist in school or through insurance-provided services. How well-qualified are these behaviorists? Some parents who have worked with ineffective or unprofessional behaviorists have put the BACB’s code of ethics to the test. This episode of Real Parents Real Results interviews Kip Oren about his experience. He can be contacted at kiporen@gmail.com
