For this assignment, you will identify an area of competency that you intend to incorporate within your future practice as a behavior analyst; however, you are currently not prepared to render services in this area. You will create an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation, which will include:

  • Area of practice you have identified as lacking specialized competencies; this can be a subspecialization area within behavior analysis all together, or staying within your area of practice, but the presenting area of need a client brings is outside the scope of competency.

** The area of choice is in home ABA therapy. ( you may compare it to clinical ABA therapy) 

  • Ethical, legal, cultural and social validity considerations related to providing services prior to establishing competence in this area of practice
  • Risk-benefit analysis related to a client seeking services in this particular area of competence and your decision whether or not to begin treatment immediately
  • Considerations and actions you will take to support competency in this area, resulting in your ability to ethically proceed with supporting clients in this area of practice.
