Ethical ABA Practices with Pathological Demand Avoidance: Autonomy, Assent, and Trauma‑Informed Decision‑Making

This ethics CEU connects PDA‑informed practice with the BACB Ethics Code, emphasizing beneficence, respect, autonomy, and assent. The presentation highlights specific ethics code that tie into PDA care, how to evaluate your treatment plans, and strategies to incorporate to improve your relationship with clients with PDA.

Objectives

After this course, you'll be able to:

  1. Identify at least three relevant BACB Ethics Code standards that apply when designing ABA interventions for individuals with PDA profiles (e.g., benefiting others, compassion/dignity, supervisory competence).
  2. Describe two practical strategies for honoring assent and “no” responses while still moving toward meaningful, client‑centered goals with PDA learners
  3. Analyze one case example of a PDA learner to determine whether the intervention plan is ethically aligned with autonomy, trauma‑informed care, and neurodiversity‑affirming practice
