Applied behavior analysis (ABA) services have been provided primarily in the fields of health care and education across various settings using an in-person service delivery model. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity of and demand for ABA services using telehealth have increased. The purpose of the present article was to cross-examine the ethical codes and guidelines of different, but related fields of practice and to discuss potential implications for telehealth-based ABA service delivery. We reviewed the telehealth-specific ethical codes and guidelines of the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Association of Social Workers, along with the related ABA literature. These organizations addressed several useful and unique ethical concerns that have not been addressed in ABA literature. We also developed a brief checklist for ABA practitioners to evaluate their telehealth readiness by meeting the legal, professional, and ethical requirements of ABA services.
应用行为分析（ABA）服务主要通过面对面服务提供模式，在医疗保健和教育领域的各种环境中提供。由于新冠疫情，使用远程医疗的ABA服务的必要性和需求有所增加。本文的目的是对不同但相关的实践领域的道德规范和准则进行交叉审视，并讨论基于远程医疗的ABA服务提供的潜在影响。我们回顾了美国心理协会、美国儿科学会和美国社会工作者协会针对远程医疗的道德规范和准则，以及相关的ABA文献。这些组织提出了一些在ABA文献中未涉及的有用且独特的道德问题。我们还为ABA从业者制定了一份简短的清单，以通过满足ABA服务的法律、专业和道德要求来评估他们对远程医疗的准备情况。
