For this assignment, you will identify an area of competency that you intend to

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.
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
You will then create a 2-3-minute video presentation of your PowerPoint via Kaltura, discussing the ethical considerations and necessary actions related to the scenario of your choice.
Determine whether you will select an applied behavior analysis subspecialty area that you have not yet practiced in, or a specific client intervention need that is outside the scope of your competence in your chosen area of practice.
Keep in mind that your scenario choice should be broad enough to incorporate the above components of the assignment into your work.
