Abstract in brief

The article highlights the importance of obtaining participant assent in research, especially for ethical and self-determination reasons, but notes challenges when working with populations like individuals with autism and developmental disabilities who may not communicate traditional assent.
A review of behavior-analytic research reveals that few studies explicitly cover assent procedures, indicating a gap in standardized practices for these populations.
The authors propose a new model or strategy to help researchers obtain genuine assent from individuals with ASD and DDs, aiming to improve ethical standards and respects for these participants.]
