During therapeutic treatment and research in psychology and related fields, informed consent by the client or participant is required when they are over the age of 18; assent is required when a client or participant is under the age of 18 or a conserved adult. During both research and treatment, behavior analysts often work with neurodiverse individuals who have language deficits, and these clients may require unique assent procedures. This article will outline reasons behavior-analytic research and therapy require field-specific assent procedures. Furthermore, the goals of research and therapy are different and therefore assent may need to differ as well. This article will also argue that therapeutic assent during behavior-analytic treatment requires a unique set of guidelines and procedures that may differ from the behavior-analytic research.
在心理学及相关领域的治疗和研究过程中，18岁以上的客户或参与者需要给予知情同意；18岁以下的客户或参与者或受监护成年人则需要表示同意。在研究和治疗过程中，行为分析师经常与有语言缺陷的神经多样性个体合作，这些客户可能需要独特的同意程序。本文将概述行为分析研究和治疗需要特定领域同意程序的原因。此外，研究和治疗的目标不同，因此同意方式可能也需要有所不同。本文还将论证，行为分析治疗过程中的治疗同意需要一套独特的指导方针和程序，这可能与行为分析研究有所不同。
