OAR 824-060-0010: Standards of Practice

(1) In Oregon, the statutory definition of applied behavior analysis is stated in 676.802 (1)(a)-(b). (2) For both behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts, the Board adopts sections 1-9 of the 2016 “BACB Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts.” (3) Licensed behavior analysts and licensed assistant behavior analysts must have a policy in place regarding the use of restraints. A copy of the policy must be given to the client’s parent or guardian at the beginning of the service agreement. The policy will be one piece of information considered by the Board or Office in determining whether a restraint used on a client constitutes unprofessional conduct, negligence, incompetence, or a failure to conform to standards of practice under ORS 676.612(2)(j).
