Ethics CEU: Integrating Assent-Based Thinking in Policies, Practices, and Goals

The integration of assent-based thinking into organizational policies, clinical practices, and treatment goals represents a systemic approach to ending instruction through coercion in behavior analytic services. Rather than treating assent as an add-on to existing practice, this course presents it as a foundational framework that should permeate every level of service delivery, from organizational policy to individual session goals.

Course Description

An Assent-Based Treatment model aims to end instruction through coercion. Instead, the focus is on building repertoires necessary to produce autonomous individuals who have agency in their lives as adults. This presentation will provide a concept analysis of assent and assent withdrawal, the values from which an assent-based program thrives, and suggest practices and measurement pinpoints to enhance your current clinical practices.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify policies, practices that support or interfere with assent-based programming.
  2. State the critical features of assent giving.
  3. List three measurement pinpoints for evaluating the effectiveness of their assent-based programming.
