ABSTRACT
Behavior analysts and registered behavior technicians are part of a culture of caring individuals who seek to improve the lives of others. They carry with them a set of core ethical values that are derived from thousands of years of compassionate practices. Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) need to stay current with new developments as well as constantly updated Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB) rules and regulations that are posted in the BACB Newsletter. RBTs have a tremendous responsibility in providing treatment according to the behavior plan that has been generated by the Board Certified Behavior Analyst supervisor. Treatment fidelity follows the plan exactly as readers were trained to do and as it is written. Taking data according to the protocol provided is another part of treatment fidelity and is essential for their accountability. Psychologists have established that ethical standards are likely well set by the time child ventures into junior high school.
