Abstract:

Taylor et al. (2019) highlighted the lack of empathy and Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) recognized the imperative need to shift the focus toward the perspective of consumers. In response, BACB published the updated ethical standard, The Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts (BACB, 2020). The revised code highlights the growing need to address service delivery with careful consideration of cultural and diverse consumers. Developing rapport with consumers is one of the critical aspects of ensuring effective treatment, which is well-documented across disciplines. However, the implementation of compassionate care is not the primary focus within the framework of many academic programs, the fieldwork experience required for the aspiring students as outlined in the BACB task list, and continued education for BCBAs. Further, components of such compassionate service delivery have not been extensively studied (Rohrer & Weiss, 2023). In this presentation, our panel of experts will discuss innovative approaches and strategies including artificial intelligence training designed to promote compassionate care within the realm of applied behavior analysis. Additionally, the panelists will plan to shed light on the potential approaches to advance the field by sharing preliminary data. Behavior Analyst Certification Board (2017).
