Throughout this module, you have been examining one of the most difficult aspects of behavior analysis. Dealing with significant behavior issues including self-injury or injury to others requires the consideration of interventions that are difficult to implement and extremely stressful for the client. In addition, if there are serious problems during the intervention, history has shown that this could impact the entire behavior analysis field.

In previous Discussions, you have explored the use of corporal punishment and restraint and discussed with your colleagues methods that would implement these interventions with a priority on ethical considerations. This Module Assignment builds on your learning from the previous weeks. You will undertake a thorough investigation that underlines the absolute importance of ethical considerations throughout the behavior analysis process.

For this Assignment, you will analyze ethical considerations and implications involving functional behavior assessment and the implementation of specific intervention techniques including the use of aversives and physical restraint.

To prepare:

Review the Learning Resources for this week and the previous weeks of this module, including the required weekly media programs, to further develop your understanding of functional behavior assessment and intervention techniques. Note: It is critical for you to review all media for this week prior to completing this Assignment.
