With the new wave of popular parenting styles and strategies overloading parents with information on how to manage behavior, it takes practice and skill to find a happy medium between recommending evidence-based strategies supported by the field of ABA and providing your expertise so that parents feel supported. As a Behavior Analyst, you have a responsibility to your clients to act in their best interest, practice within your scope of competence, and maintain your competence within how you choose to practice. It's time to have a real conversation about how to truly support parents in ways that are beneficial to them and their family, sustainable for you as a practicing clinician to confidently manage your responsibilities, uphold your ethics, and continue improving the lives of everyone involved--not only for families receiving ABA services, but also for the longevity of our field in the realm of clinical practice.
