What does RES-QABA say?

The Qualified Applied Behavior Analysis Credentialing Board (QABA) is an accredited credentialing body offering the Applied Behavior Analysis Technician (ABAT), Qualified Autism Services Practitioner-Supervisor (QASP-S), and Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA) credentials. QABA maintains its own Ethical Guidelines and Standards of Practice covering client welfare, professional competence, integrity, confidentiality, and supervision. Practitioners holding QABA credentials are bound by the QABA ethics code in addition to any applicable BACB requirements if dually credentialed. Where a practitioner holds only QABA credentials, alleged violations are reported to QABA rather than the BACB. The QABA ethical guidelines are available at qaba.com/ethical-guidelines.
