Back in November, I teased that I was starting a new position at my center. On December 1, I announced I was a part-time salary BCBA. I originally intended this podcast to be released that day but due to a number of issues, it kept getting pushed back.

Episode 110: Ethics is Tricky-I can Help! BCBA Study Podcast Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

The first time I took the BCBA exam, I didn’t study ethics very much. I thought I was an ethical person and would instinctively know what the correct answer was. Countless people advised against that strategy but I tuned them out and promptly failed the exam. The second time around I took ethics a lot more seriously because ethics are complex! This podcast is the same exact scenario that I used to study ethics the second time. We walk through a bunch of ethical scenarios, I pause so you can consider your answer, then explain the answer we are looking for. I hope this helps you study for the BCBA exam!
