Change to BACB Gift Policy
The BACB has changed the RBT Ethics Code concerning giving or accepting gifts.
Because the exchange of gifts can invite conflicts of interest and multiple relationships, behavior analysts cannot give or accept gifts from clients, stakeholders, supervisees, or trainees with a monetary value of more than $10 US dollars (or the equivalent purchasing power in another currency).
