The ethical dilemma for Reaction Paper 1:

 

You are scrolling through a social media platform (such as Facebook) and come across a post in an autism-related group/community.  The original post is from a mom (let’s call her Anna) of a two-year old who is asking advice to the group members about her toddler’s challenging behaviors. Anna describes some of the behaviors she has noticed at home and even mentions that she has been thinking about having her child evaluated for autism but hasn’t done that yet. One responder to the post (let’s call her Vicki) identifies herself as a BCBA who is also a mom to a child who is autistic. Vicki shames Anna for not already seeking an evaluation/diagnosis, tells Anna that based on her own experience both as a BCBA and an “autism mom” that Anna’s child is “almost definitely autistic,” and suggests specific interventions to use in the meantime. You have witnessed/read this exchange. 

Reaction papers should be maximum 3 pages typed, double-spaced, APA style, excluding references.  There is no minimum, but it would be difficult to complete this task well in under 1.5 pages.

  • Briefly summarize the ethical dilemmas in the case and identify all of the players in the situation, as well as the contingencies acting on their behaviors. Be sure to correctly use behavior analytic language.
  • Refer back to the Ethics Code (either the BACB’s or the IBAO’s) and identify next steps for you who are hypothetically facing the situation.
  • Make sure to follow the rubric to receive the best grade (grammar and mechanics are part of the grade, as is using APA style)
  • Do NOT include a title/cover page

Reaction Paper 1

/in /by

Reaction papers. Throughout the class, certain subjects/techniques/ideas will likely pique your interest.  You may strong feelings or questions about a topic, regarding its applicability in the counseling setting or how you feel that it may apply to you.  When this happens, I would encourage you to write a 3 page (minimum), double spaced reaction paper on the topic, which you will then send to me.  It will not be shared with any of your peers, and will remain confidential.  You will be required to write four of these papers during the semester, and the due dates for each of these will be outlined in the syllabus below, though you are ALWAYS welcome to turn them in early!  These papers do not need to be formally written- instead, I want your gut reaction or thoughts to something that you have been reading/learning about from the class.

Be sure to follow the following guidelines for written work:

1) In the unlikely event that your paper is missing or has been accidentally lost or destroyed, make sure that you have a hard copy of the paper AND a backup disk in addition to the copy that you turn in. This is your record of having completed the assignment and will be used to replace the missing copy.

2) All written work must be typed and double spaced, with 1 inch margins and 12 pt Times New Roman font

 

 

Topic chosen: Epigenetics Epigenetics is the study of how the interaction of the environment and genetic makeup can influence physical expression of traits and behaviors.  There have been many fascinating studies regarding epigenetics and mice.  I wanted to share some with you.
