 Matthew T. Brodhead is an Associate Professor at Michigan State University. Dr. Brodhead’s research examines focused social skill interventions for children with autism. He also writes about conceptual issues relating to the ethical and professional behavior of practicing behavior analysts. He currently serves as an associate editor for the Journal of Behavioral Education, Behavior Analysis in Practice, and the Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities. |
| Description: Professional and ethical behaviors are critical for high quality care and consumer protection. By using behavioral systems, behavior analysts may increase the probability of employees engaging in professional and ethical behaviors. This presentation will survey the basic components of behavioral systems analysis (BSA) and how BSA may be used in practice to promote ethical behavior. Ultimately, this presentation aims to provide a pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and socially-valid approach to ethics that focuses on teaching employees “what to do” in certain situations, instead of using a punitive “how not to behave” approach for employee management. |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) identify the six steps of behavioral systems analysis; (2) describe an example of how to use behavioral systems analysis to improve ethical behavior during one on one supervision; (3) describe an example of how to use behavioral systems analysis to improve ethical behavior during group supervision |
