Answer to Question 1

Normalization refers to the use of progressively more typical environments, expectations, and procedures to develop behavior in clients that is as close to the cultural norm as possible. It is a philosophy rather than a specific technique. Normalization impacts how behavior analysts select behavior and interventions. Age and setting appropriate behavior and interventions should be selected and outcomes should focus on the normalization of the client's experience in relation to their community. This may result in different behavior or interventions being selected than would be chosen in a clinical environment.

Answer to Question 2

Ethical considerations for the behavior analyst include whether they have the right to intervene, who has the authority to grant permission for assessment and intervention, whether that permission has been granted, whether the target behavior is socially valid, effects on the client and stakeholders of intervention, and whether or not the client's functional needs will be met through intervention.
