A BCBA living in a small town is asked by her sister to create an ABA program for her son. There are no other BAs available, but she has issues with her sister that might be complicated by her taking the case. What should the BCBA do? - correct answer The BCBA should not take the case. She should talk to her state association to locate someone who can work instead; if no one is available, a non-BCBA may need to take the case.

The BCBA disagrees because the mother has shaped a lot of her son's behaviours at home. Her supervisor says the mother has the right to terminate services. What can the BCBA do? - correct answer The child is the vulnerable person in this situation, and his needs should come first. The BCBA should speak to the mother to determine if there is something that can be done to make ABA easier; maybe scheduling changes or having a different therapist would help. The BCBA should also make sure the child's case manager is aware of the situation.
