Document Summary
Katie is the single mother of a child with autism who had visited several different behaviour analytic service providers before deciding on a particular service provider. A few weeks after making the decision about which behavior analyst would be selected to provide services, Katie was at a local fair and saw marilyn, one of the service providers she had interviewed but ultimately decided not to use. Marilyn looked up and greeted katie loudly, and then exclaimed, katie! I thought when you visited my autism clinic we had a deal . Why didn"t you choose me?" katie felt uncomfortable about the exchange, especially because she had not mentioned to people in her community that her child had autism. She muttered something about finances and then hurried out of the fair. Responsible conduct of a behaviour analyst (guideline 1) Professionals who want to call themselves behaviour analysts must conduct themselves in a way that reflects positively on the field.
