prevalence in the United States there is approximately 74.2 million children, (Casey Foundation,2011). Of those children, more than two-thirds have reported at least one traumatic event before they were 16 years old, (SAMHSA, 2020). Traumatic events can be physical abuse, sexual abuse, loss of a loved one, school violence, or neglect. In 2015, the national average for child victims was 683,000, (SAMHSA, 2020). Traumatic events can have short-term and long-term effects on children and their families. Children as young as preschool age can show signs of traumatic stress.When a child goes through a traumatic event such as abuse or neglect, they will go to an advocacy center to talk to a professional about what happened (Newman, Dannenfelser, &Pendleton, 2005). This information is recorded and could be sued in court. Child AdvocacyCenters help children be able to tell their story once and not have to continue retelling their traumatic events to several people. Through these interviews, law enforcement, mental health providers, and Children’s Division can decide for the child’s safety.

behavioral therapy, children, regardless of where they fall on the autism spectrum can achieve forty-seven percent success” (Lovaas, 1987). ABA is highly effective but can be laborious and time-consuming to implement. Intensive one-on-one therapy is required in order to achieve the best results. The child’s progress can be dependent on the number of hours of intervention. is also needed for customized programming. Areas of skill deficits need to be identified, a treatment plan is developed, and a curriculum is created and constantly monitored. Direct care staff, clinical experts, educators, parents, and support staff can all be properly trained and informed on methodologies and the best outcomes can be established for the student. Making this intervention the most versatile and beneficial.Ethics: The hallmark of ABA is a reliance on scientifically validated treatments. There are many scientific values through the application of ABA. There is a focus on empiricism, demonstrating the effectiveness of procedures and the identification of functional relationships. With that said, behavior analysts often struggle with issues that relate to the effectiveness of treatment. In clinical practice, behavior services are offered in combination with interventions that may not be empirically validated. ABA can be combined with non-validated approaches.

A dilution of services can lead to reduced effectiveness. Effectiveness may be reduced due to less time allocated. There can be inconsistencies between approaches or interactions between treatments. Families may pursue alternative interventions. Behavior analysts can struggle to work collaboratively with consumers and other professionals while maintaining adherence to values of scientifically validated treatment and implementation of effective intervention. It can be difficult to discern how one should conduct themselves. Many do struggle with the fear of offending or alienating the client. This is where the guideline for Responsible Conduct was developed. Section 1.0 states that the professional must maintain the high standards of a professional organization. More importantly, those applying for ABA must be guided by the basic principle that they are working towards improving a person and their overall condition. Some ethical challenges could be professionalism. While interacting and playing with children, there are always professional boundaries. These include: dressing comfortably, yet professionally, treating the client and their families with respect, always being conscious of race, religion, and culture, explaining procedures and services in terms that the client and their family will understand, and avoiding discussing personal matters with family members of the client. Confidentiality is also extremely important. HIPPA should always be followed and understood.
