Why the Professional Conduct Section Is Critical for RBT Success?

The Professional Conduct and Scope of Practice section tests your ability to:

  1. Apply the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts to your daily practice
  2. Maintain professional boundaries with clients and their families
  3. Respond appropriately to ethical dilemmas
  4. Understand the limits of the RBT role
  5. Follow reporting requirements for dangerous or concerning situations

Mastering these skills is essential because:

  • Ethical violations can result in certification revocation and professional consequences
  • Approximately 11 questions on your exam will test these professional conduct concepts
  • Operating outside scope of practice can harm clients and create liability
  • Ethical practice is the foundation of the behavior analysis profession

“The professional conduct questions were tricky because they often involved nuanced ethical scenarios where I had to identify the most appropriate response rather than just recognizing obviously wrong behavior.” – Sarah J., Certified RBT
