Abstract:

Providing behaviorally based services can be a difficult process in any setting. Providing services in community-based settings provides its own unique challenges which can include working within established (often non-behavioral) systems, providing services within the confines of contracts (e.g., limitations on hours per week you can provide services, limitations on the number of sessions you can provide), and working with staff who have little to no background in basic behavioral principles. Each of these issues presents different practical and ethical considerations. The panel will discuss common issues encountered by individuals working community-based settings and how they have handled them. Emphasis will be placed on the use of ethical and professional guidelines in the decision-making processes for addressing such issues.
