|---|---|
This is an ethical problem as RBT and BCBAs are not qualified to advise on dietary practices (practicing out of scope). It appears that the time spent may also be taking away from therapy time. | Coach and explain boundaries and scope of practice to supervisee. |
It outside scope of competence and we only use evidence based practices | Remind her about her role and scope of practice |
Yes, the supervisor is responsible for services provided by RBT | Explain ethics code |
boundaries | feedback |
His supervisee is practicing outside the scope and he has not deemed the individual competent in this area | Review the code with the RBt and have a discussion with the family |
Practicing outside scope | Review roles and what is included |
RBT does not have training in nutrition or medical training and is a liability | explain that he does not have the expertise in these areas and to recommend clients speak with a doctor or dietician reegarding diets |
The supervisor has already established this as a concern, and this will be further pursued. Additionally, the supervisor has not delegated this role to the BRT in addition to the RBT task list. | The RBT and the Family, with documentation, to the company stakeholders. |
outside the scope of competence of the RBT and takes away from valid responsibilities | Discuss first with supervisee including exepectations and rationale; then let family know this is outside scope of supervisee's role |
the rbt is practicing outside of his scope of practice | provide formal feedback to the rbt and document it |
dual relationship | discuss competency of practice |

Because the time spent with the client is paid for and there are other tasks that need to be done during sessions. | Discuss that he can talk to the family about dietary needs after the session is over. |
This is outside the scope of behavior analysis and there may not be scientific evidence to support what the RBT is saying | provide and document feedback to the RBT |

The RBT is exceeding its working limits | Must explain to the RBT |
The supervisor's responsible for the conduct of the RBT. If the RBT is engaging in long conversation with the parent inside OR outside of treatment time, it's a conflict for the supervisor as well as the RBT. | Explaining the standards, documenting conversations and citing the code wherever possible. |
This is outside of the RBT's scope of practice. | Reminding the RBT of the ethical code and setting appropriate boundaries regarding this topic |

Not in scope of practice | discuss Ethical problem with supervisee |
It is not rooted in behavior analysis and errs on the side of pseudoscience.
