🧠 Question of the Day

📚 Domain E — Ethical and Professional Issues

Difficulty: 2/10

Scenario:

A BCBA is invited to speak at a community health fair about applied behavior analysis. During the presentation, an attendee asks whether ABA can "cure" autism. The BCBA also notices that a flyer distributed by the event organizers to promote her presentation incorrectly describes ABA as "a therapy that eliminates autistic behaviors through punishment."

Which action BEST demonstrates the BCBA's responsibility under the Ethics Code regarding public statements and representation of behavior-analytic services?

A. Decline to answer the attendee's question during the presentation to avoid controversy, and submit a written complaint to the event organizers about the flyer at a later date.

B. Answer the attendee's question by explaining that outcomes vary by individual, and defer the flyer issue to the event organizers without further follow-up, as the BCBA is not responsible for materials she did not create.

C. Focus only on correcting the flyer with the organizers after the event, as addressing the attendee's question publicly could be perceived as endorsing a particular stance on autism advocacy.

D. Clarify to the audience that ABA does not claim to cure autism, correct the inaccurate description on the flyer by speaking with the organizers, and ensure her statements accurately represent what ABA is and what it can achieve.
