Coversation Regarding Breach of Client’s Right to Confidentiality
Scenario
Yi Men was a good friend and colleague. Alfredo attended graduate school with her, and they were in many of the same ABA courses. Ironically, they both ended up working for the same company providing home-based ABA services to children ages 3 to 6. One day, Alfredo stopped off at a local delicatessen for dinner and overheard Yi Men talking about a client. She always had a booming voice, so it was not difficult to “overhear” the conversation and the client's name she was discussing. Alfredo knew that the person she was speaking to was not employed at the company, and, of course, that would not have mattered anyway. This was clearly a breach of the client’s right to confidentiality.

Alfredo: I understand, but it is vital to protect the privacy of clients and adhere to the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (2020) code of ethics, especially section 3.10, which dictates the significance of informing stakeholders an
