THE RIGHT TO EFFECTIVE BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT
Open accessAbstract
We propose that individuals who are recipients or potential recipients of treatment designed to change their behavior have the right to a therapeutic environment, services whose overriding goal is personal welfare, treatment by a competent behavior analyst, programs that teach functional skills, behavioral assessment and ongoing evaluation, and the most effective treatment procedures available.

The BACB was created to ensure that clients had the right to effective treatment.
“Fourth, the BACB® was created to ensure that clients had the right to effective treatment (Van Houten et al., 1988;Weiss & Shook, 2010).”
From Concerns About the Registered Behavior Technician™ in Relation to Effective Autism Intervention (2017) · cites this paper as Van Houten et al., 1988
Section 6 states that clients have a right to effective, scientifically validated treatment, and the Conclusion says behavior analysts must protect clients’ rights. The paper does not say that the BACB was created for that purpose; its Abstract identifies it as a report of an Association for Behavior Analysis task force. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
