Definition

"Standards are intended to provide and promote a framework for the ethical and best practice for practitioners of behaviour analysis.

These standards are not intended to be prescriptive in that they do not address the implementation of specific behavioural procedures. Rather, the standards provide a set of guidelines for the practice of behaviour analysis.

The standards are intended to accomplish the following:

  • Promote ethical, high quality best practice within behaviour analysis;
  • Provides a framework for practitioners to judge the quality of their practices;
  • Provide a foundation for peer-review of clinical practice;
  • Provides a framework for service recipients to evaluate the application of behavioural services;
  • Provide a reference of best clinical practices for administrators, supervisors, and policy makers managing or involved with behaviour analysis programs.".
