True or False: Accepting gifts from clients is allowed according to the BACB Ethics Code.

The correct answer is that accepting gifts from clients is not allowed according to the BACB Ethics Code. The code emphasizes maintaining professional boundaries and avoiding any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from accepting gifts. This principle helps ensure that the relationship between practitioners and clients remains ethical and focused on the best interests of the clients rather than personal gain.

Accepting gifts could lead to perceived favoritism or expectations that might compromise the professional relationship, thus impacting the objectivity of the behavioral services provided. While some circumstances like small tokens of appreciation may seem harmless, the Ethics Code leans towards erring on the side of caution, advocating for a clear separation between personal and professional interactions to uphold the integrity of the profession.
