    Your Assignment

    Utilizing the information you gathered for assignment 1, you will create a presentation that summarizes your paper/submission, incorporating any relevant instructor feedback. The presentation should be 8-10 minutes long and be supported by the course material and other relevant references. You may use a presentation tool/method of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint) as long as the presentation is accessible using a PC (not Mac/Apple) and meets the minimum time requirement.

    (Note: You must create presentation slides and video record yourself delivering the presentation. You must be visible on camera while presenting. Audio-only submissions will not be accepted. If you do not meet this requirement, your assignment will be returned ungraded.)

    The presentation for the scenario should contain the following information:

    1. Overview of the scenario

    2. Discussion of the applicable ethical code(s)

    3. Description and explanation of the ethical dilemma involved

    4. Any steps taken in the process of developing a plan for action (e.g., collecting data, gathering more information or consultation, etc.)

    5. A suggested plan of action

    6. Personal reflection or reaction (i.e., your thoughts about the situation)Information from assignment 1:

    I attached assignment 1, this is the feedback given Thank you for your report.

    Good statement of the problem, however you left out the key ethics code that makes this an ethical violation: Code 2.06, accuracy in service billing and reporting. Without this the actions of the supervisor may not be considered an ethical violation and must be included here.

    Regarding steps to address the problem- you should only respond here with those steps and not statements about it from a theoretical perspective.

    Also, you would not be “denying” the supervisor’s request which would not be an appropriate approach as a professional and as an employee you would need to express your concern and why you cannot follow the direction, which is consistent with the instructions in the BACB ethics code that you need to use for your answers in this assignment report. Refusal is a perhaps better way to look at this (although either can affect your employment for the sake of upholding your integrity and ethical responsibilities).

    What does “intensify” mean? Please explain or use an action that is an observable, measurable behavior, as you are planning to become a BCBA and hopefully think like a behavior analyst.

    Also, what does “mitigate to compliance” refer to? I think this is matter of incorrect grammar. That is not a grammatically correct statement.

    What “works” of ethical decision-making research are you suggesting or referring to? Your statement is unclear and/or grammatically incorrect.

    For e.g. what do you mean or what is “a structured resource”? Please explain or provide examples when making such general statements.

    Documenting communications is a good approach and indicated in the ethics code.

    Your process or steps to address the ethical problem are not clearly stated in plain language or terminology that is understandable, and does not appear to align with the BACB instructions nor steps or process identified in the section of the ethics code titled “Application of the Code.” Reviewing this section of the ethics code document will help guide your responses and for your responsibilities when you become a BCBA and are faced with an ethical dilemma. That will also help you understand the steps needed such as attempting to directly resolve the issue internally, and when, if, and where to report potential ethical violations by another behavior analyst.

    There is a process to follow as indicated in the ethics code. You need to know when and where to report violations as a BCBA.

    Also, please go to this link from the BACB for guidance on reporting ethical violations to the BACB: .

    A final consideration is if you would want to continue to be employed by an organization willing to engage in fraud. This is to protect your integrity, uphold ethical standards and also not be held culpable for fraud yourself as you could be viewed as complicit.

    Good list of references and correct formatting.

  • Psychology Question

    Wellness Planning is the hallmark of the professional practice and identity of counseling. As counselors, it is best to always identify your own level of wellness and need for self-care, before being able to practice these skills with others.

    For this assignment, it will call for both formal and informal writing. You may use the FNU Template to guide the format for your paper.

    Part A: Examine the wellness versus medical model. These are two different models that are often confused between the predecessors (i.e., counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist), thus leaving many counselors in training, unaware of their identity. 2-pages, using APA 7th edition style and formatting. Please refer to the APA 7th edition to confirm your writing style and formatting. APA 7th edition for writing and formatting

    Part B: Self-reflect on your level of self-care. This should be 2-pages using (APA 7th edition style writing and format is not required; however, you are free to do so). In this part of your paper, discuss your own level of wellness and include the following:

    -Areas of strengths Based on the resource above on the Self-care wheel, what are your areas of strength, and why are they considered strengths? What you are doing well, and how does it help you daily?

    -Areas of improvement what areas would you like to improve on related to the self-care wheel, and what goals do you plan to work on to help you improve?

    -Set one or two SMART goals – specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

    (Feel free to review the resources above for more context on this item).

    If you are not able to make a goal, what barriers are in your way, and what resources can be helpful to meet that goal?

    The final paper should be a minimum of 7 pages (the body of the paper should be 5 pages), including the cover and reference page (no abstract or separate conclusion page).

    Requirements: 7 pages

  • Psychology Question

    Overview

    How are you? When asked, most people say “fine” or something similar without even thinking about it. But what if someone really asked you. How would you answer?

  • Psychology Question

    Your Assignment

    Instructions. Please select one of the 3 following ethical scenarios listed below and write a paper to address the following:

    (1) Why this is or is not an ethical dilemma,

    (2) What are 1-3 of the BACB ethical codes (including code numbers) that apply to the situation,

    (3) The steps or process you would recommend implementing based on the BACB Ethics code to address and resolve the issue, and

    (4) Your personal reflection or reaction to the scenario.

    Ethical Scenarios:

    1. The supervisor of your ABA professional practice, who is a BCBA, instructs you to bill for twice as many hours per week compared to what you are actually providing. Her rationale is that your organization is having financial difficulties and cannot survive without this additional income. Explain how you would address this situation in accordance with the assignment instructions and the BACB Ethics Code.
    2. You are a BCBA who also oversees RBTs. The parents of a child for whom you are providing in-home ABA services would like you to add punishment procedures, as they are concerned about your current methods being ineffective in treating the problem behavior (that includes self-injury) quickly enough. You currently base your methods on evidence-based practices using replacement skills and positive reinforcement approaches. After reviewing the function, ongoing data collection, and data analysis, it appears that progress is taking place but not quickly enough for the parents. After explaining why you selected the methods in your behavior plan, the parents persist in their demands for use of punishment procedures. Explain how you would address this situation based on the BACB ethics code and the assignment instructions.
    3. Fran is a BCBA who works as a Behavior Analyst in a program that has a very conservative Human Rights policy. This policy requires that all potential positive interventions be attempted prior to implementing any restrictive treatment plans. Fran is currently providing services to a child on her caseload who engages in self-injurious behavior, including hitting the face and head, causing bruising, and making loud grunting or vocalizations when hitting herself. To practice behavior analysis within the BACBs Ethical Code for Behavior Analysts (2022), what should Fran do in this situation?

    Paper requirements:

    1. Approximately 3-pages in length, including the scenario you selected listed at the beginning of the paper, and NOT including your title and reference pages.
    2. Written in APA format (**See link to APA publication style in the course site resources.)
    3. Submitted as a Word document using Times New Roman 12 font.
    4. Include an appropriate heading on the first page (i.e., College, Program name, Title of Paper, Assignment no., Your Name, and Date) and references to support methods or procedures used.
    5. Include a citation of the current ethics code in your references. *Please use this link to download the current ethics code:
