Dual Relationships and Ethics
A dual relationship is one of the most common ethical concerns within the field of ABA. As a BCaBA who is implementing services in home-, center-, school-, or community-based environments, you will need to be able to form a trusting relationship with the family while maintaining a professional feel. This requires walking the very thin line between professional and personal relationship. Use this space to discuss times or situations in your career that you have been put in a situation where a dual relationship was likely. How did you handle that situation? Did you find that you were engaging in a dual relationship? If so, how did you handle that situation? If you have never found yourself in this situation, please discuss a potential situation you may encounter in the future.
