This paper will use the decision making model to analyze scenario 2.…

To be honest, there are many ethical concerns in this statement as well as concerns of a stable therapeutic group which can create significant results.

The Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts was developed to ensure ethical consistency and adherence of the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). These professional standards guide the application of ABA (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007).

When I began in the field, I did not have an understanding of the term “ethical” behavior. I just knew right from wrong, but that was the extent of it.…
