Join Free →Let's move beyond what is right or wrong and apply contextual understanding and discrimination between excellent, unsavory, and good enough ethical practices. With this focus, we can prioritize problem solving as a critical job skill and tool for today's behavior analyst. By applying think-say-do to ethical problem solving frameworks (Brodhead & Higbee, 2012; Contreras et al., 2022; Rosenberg & Schwartz, 2019; Sellers et al., 2016), this workshop guides participants through modern day ethics scenarios that implore us to consider the Do as a multidimensional act in consumer support, organizational support, and industry value.
