✔ Opportunity (e.g. loose oversight, flexible billing systems)
✔ Rationalization (e.g. "Everyone does it" or "It's just a few minutes")

Sarah
What makes this course different?
🔹Taught by a BCBA who’s lived through the ethical gray zones
🔹Not just what the Ethics Code says, but why people still break it
🔹Includes practical tools for self-reflection and workplace navigation
🔹Focused on both personal integrity and systemic change
🔹 Based on real stories, real data, and real strategies
Why This Is Critical for BCBAs
The pressure to bill more, supervise less, and "do what you're told" is real—and it's exhausting. If you've ever felt the tension between what your gut says is right and what your employer says is required, you're not alone. This course matters because:
✔ ABA is under growing scrutiny due to unethical billing and systemic abuses—our field's future depends on how we respond
✔ Most unethical decisions aren’t made by unethical people—they're made under pressure, in systems that reward compliance over integrity
✔ You need more than an Ethics Code—you need tools to understand risk, resist pressure, and make values-aligned decisions in the real world
This course gives you those tools, plus strategies you can use immediately to protect your license, your peace of mind, and your clients. It's not just about compliance—it's about sustainability, career satisfaction, and the kind of practitioner you want to be
Ethics CEUs are required—but this one will actually change how you show up.
