ABA professionals play a significant role in helping individuals achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. We should all be aware of what an appropriate level of professionalism is and how we can show it in our roles as ABA therapists, RBTs, and paraprofessionals. Professionalism in ABA goes beyond simply dressing well and having a fancy title. True professionalism incorporates a wide range of attitudes, behaviors, ethical considerations, and more. ABA professionals are expected to maintain the highest standards of behavior and conduct to ensure effective treatment.
One of the core ways of showing professionalism is to leave your personal problems at the door before you walk into a classroom or client’s home. We discuss how to identify and manage those times when you might need a break, as well as how to preserve a professional appearance. We also talk about showing professionalism towards families, how to maintain boundaries with coworkers and clients, and the importance of communicating effectively.
