Abstract in brief

The article discusses the importance of maintaining strong professional relationships in interdisciplinary settings where behavior analysts (BCBAs) work alongside other healthcare professionals to support individuals with autism, especially when nonbehavioral treatments are recommended.
It highlights that excessive questioning or critique of nonbehavioral treatments by BCBAs can damage these professional relationships, even though evaluating and discussing such treatments is crucial for client safety and wellbeing.
To address this challenge, the article proposes a decision-making model that helps BCBAs carefully assess nonbehavioral treatments by understanding the treatment details, the perspectives of colleagues, and the potential impacts on the individual with autism, balancing ethical responsibilities with maintaining collaborative relationships.]
