  3. Have I explained the activity, alternatives, and right to decline?
  4. Is this behavioral skills work within my role, or does the need call for another professional?
  5. How will I measure benefit, acceptability, and possible unwanted effects?
  6. What would lead me to stop, consult, or refer?

Conceptual sources: (Behavior Analyst Certification Board [BACB], 2020; Wilson, 2023). The specific prompts and examples are newly written teaching suggestions, rather than tested protocols from these sources.
