Before initiating any ABA therapy, it is critical that behavior analysts provide a comprehensive explanation of the process to the parents or guardians of the child. This discussion should cover the therapy's objectives, methods, expected benefits, and any potential risks.
Documentation of the consent process is vital. The details of the therapy plan, including its expected duration and the roles of all involved parties, should be meticulously recorded.
Parents or guardians must sign a consent form which confirms their understanding of the therapy details and their agreement to the proposed interventions.
Consent is an ongoing process, not a one-off event. Caregivers should receive regular updates about the therapy, and their continued consent must be secured, particularly when adjustments to the plan or new interventions are needed.
