Update from the BACB
 

I received a letter from the attorney of the BACB in the last few days.

When confronted about the BCBA's certified running the center that shocks children, the BACB says "The BACB also does not have jurisdiction over service delivery agencies." So I guess the BACB will allow the leaders shocking children to stay certified in violation of their own ethics code.

I am happy to send this email to the board to review.

Did you know that the BCBA has given up discipling behavior analysts... see:

The entire purpose of the BACB was to provide competent behavior analysts but they don't even enforce their own ethics code anymore with the exception of line technicians. 

If they will not punish someone for leading an organization shocking those with Autism where is the line?
