Problem: You are a behavior analyst in an agency that provides services in behavior analysis, as well as services by other clinicians, including speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. Often, clients that you treat are receiving therapy from other clinicians, as well. As a supervising BCBA in the agency, you oversee a group of Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) that work directly with many of your clients. One of your RBTs told you that the occupational therapist and speech pathologist were having a conversation in the hallway regarding one of your shared clients. The report was that these colleagues were discussing the client by name, and expressing negative opinions about having to implement behavioral interventions during their sessions, complaining that the behavioral issues were "your" job to take care of and should not interfere with their sessions. In reviewing Section 2 of the Code and considering the model for effective decision making, what is your ethical responsibility to your colleagues, and what course of action would you take to resolve this issue?
