January 2026 Ethics Chat

Practicing behavior analysts daily clinical, supervisory, and business activities likely involves considering a variety of ethics-related factors and information. They are also likely to find themselves faced with ethical dilemmas at some point in their career. The ethics course that behavior analysts take in graduate school sets a foundation of knowledge; however, the application of ethics content can be nuanced and tricky. The APBA Ethics Chat gives attendees a chance to submit questions after they register on the event page (to be considered for the chat they must be submitted 48 hours in advanced)  to a rotating panel of behavior analysts with experience engaging in analysis of ethics content. During the Ethics Chat, attendees will hear the panelists discuss the submissions and provide their analyses, rationales, and opinions. The Ethics Chats are never recorded.

In 2026, each month will have a focus area- This month's focus area is Responsive Practice.
