Question

Difficulty: hard. Skill: analyze. Type: ethics professional judgment.

During a community outing, care team asks the BCBA to act quickly even though the requirement related to culturally responsive and inclusive services and supervision is directly relevant. What is the most appropriate response? The case file includes 2 recent sessions, 4 implementers, and 4 settings.

A
Base the decision on the descriptive label for grabbing preferred items and bypass culturally responsive and inclusive services and supervision
B
Use a familiar protocol even though it does not address cultural humility and responsive practice
C
Collaborate with cultural humility and adapt services without relying on stereotypes or abandoning data in relation to adolescent's grabbing preferred items

Correct answer

D
Rely on care team's report alone and stop collecting direct evidence

Explanation

Answer C

The clue is the combination of ABC data from three outings, grabbing preferred items, and the required task: Culturally responsive and inclusive services and supervision. The case file includes 2 recent sessions, 4 implementers, and 4 settings. Collaborate with cultural humility and adapt services without relying on stereotypes or abandoning data in relation to adolescent's grabbing preferred items is best because it answers that clue through cultural humility and responsive practice instead of treating the scenario as a generic behavior problem. On exam items like this, name the decision point first, then eliminate options that rely on one report, a label, a familiar protocol, or an action that skips the relevant data check.
