Question 1
2..38 pts
Jose works as a BCBA for a national ABA agency. During his training, Jose worked with young
children with autism, all of whom were verbal and had primarily social skills or academic goals. His
clinical director (who is not a BCBA) has asked Jose to take on a new case working with an
adolescent with autism and intellectual disability, who is non verbal and is engaging in severe
aggression and challenging behaviors. With regard to Standard 3.03 Accepting Clients, what is Jose’s
best course of action?
Jose should accept the client because he has training and experience with learners with autism.
Jose should request that the agency provide mentorship and support from another BCBA who has competency in
this area, or allow Jose to shadow that person in order to gain his competence.
Jose should go ahead and accept the client but make a note that he has told his clinical director that he doesn’t feel
he has the competency for this client.
Jose should tell his clinical director that he cannot accept that client because he does not have the competency to
do so.
Question 2
2..38 pts

consider, according to Standard 3.05 Financial Agreements?
Rhyse could charge for services on a sliding scale as long as that information was documented before beginning
services.
Rhyse could barter for services as long as there is a service agreement in place.
Rhys could provide behavior analytic services in exchange for some good or service that the client’s family provides.
Rhys could take on clients pro bono, as long as he can afford to provide the service.

Natalie has been providing consultation services to a local school district for the past year. Recently, a
new principal has asked her to include restraint and seclusion in her behavior intervention plans, as
he (the principal) has paid a lot of money to hire a company to conduct restraint and seclusion
training for his staff. This practice goes against Natalie’s professional and ethical recommendations
for her clients. Which would be her best course of action under Standard 3.08 Responsibility to the
Client with Third-Party Contracts for Services?
Natalie can explain her concerns and ethical responsibilities to the principal and if that does not resolve the issue,
then she can discontinue her services.

requested an FBA be completed for a kindergartener who is engaging in hitting behavior and eloping
from the classroom. Justin asked the school to confirm written consent for the FBA prior to starting
the assessment. The school told him “the mother gave her verbal consent at the last parent-teacher
conference for us to ‘do whatever we need to do’ to help her son.” Can Justin go ahead and begin his
assessment?
Yes, if the mother gave the consent verbally, then Justin is okay to begin this assessment.
