In Session 225, Shira Karpel and Shayna Gaunt from\\xa0How To ABA\\xa0return to the show to discuss a recent webinar that they provided for their online community (note: see\\xa0here\\xa0for their first appearance on the podcast).\\xa0

Their talk discussed code element 1.10, from the Behavior Analysis Certification Board\'s\\xa0Ethics Codes for Behavior Analysts. For a quick recap, it reads as follows:

1.10 Awareness of Personal Biases and Challenges

\\u2022 Behavior analysts maintain awareness that their personal biases or challenges (e.g., mental or physical health conditions; legal, financial, marital/relationship challenges) may interfere with the effectiveness of their professional work.

\\u2022 Behavior analysts take appropriate steps to resolve interference, ensure that their professional work is not compromised, and document all actions taken in this circumstance and the eventual outcomes.

In the spirit of this code element, Shira and Shayna discuss how they define these \\xa0biases, and how they can potentially occur in practice. More importantly, they discuss steps for detecting and responding to such biases when they do surface.\\xa0
