De-Coding Ethics Part 4
Ethics scenario 4: a parent asks you to omit progress from a report — advocate honestly, never hide data.
Scenario 4: a parent asks 'please don't include this progress in the report — if the school sees this, they may reduce services.' Sherley walks the five-step response — validate the concern without agreeing to misrepresent data, report the data accurately and completely, explain the clinical meaning (progress doesn't mean services should stop), advocate ethically using the same data, and document the request and your response — citing codes 1.01, 2.06, 2.17, 3.01, 3.11, and 3.12. Watch the full clip for honest advocacy in action.
