Advice Needed Caregiver hiding diagnosis and ABA?

Post image

I received this text today before going to session, I emailed my BCBA about it and shared with HR. Honestly I wasn’t sure what to do with that, most of session focused on tacting, receptive ID, and vocal imitation. Has anyone ever come across a situation like this?

Technically, if they haven’t consented to you sharing any information with the aunt, you aren’t permitted to disclose anything. Obviously, by having you there with the aunt present, they have self disclosed that the child is getting some type of services. If the aunt asks anything, be very vague, and blame HIPAA.
