| Description: The importance of inclusionary efforts and cultural competence is outlined throughout various policies, ethical guidelines, and organizations. However, what does it mean to be inclusive and culturally competent? What behaviors would indicate a robust repertoire of inclusive and culturally competent skills? During this workshop, we de-fuzzify what it means to be inclusive and culturally competent by pinpointing specific behaviors. We will present information on how current approaches to inclusion and cultural competence may largely be ineffective in promoting the change they intend. We will review some considerations for training and development in OBM literature and take those approaches to work collaboratively to identify and create behavior analytic descriptions of inclusive and culturally competent behaviors. We will then review current literature in behavior analysis surrounding DEI topics and broader behavior change targets to offer suggestions for strategies to increase engagement in inclusive and culturally competent practices previously identified. Implications for such activities may inform clinical practices, supervision, and research. |
| Learning Objectives: (1) Discuss the importance of pinpointing specific behaviors related to inclusion and cultural competence. (2) Creating behavior-analytic descriptions of inclusive and culturally competent practices. (3) Apply evidence-based procedures to behaviors related to inclusion and cultural competence. |
| Activities: Workshop activities will include lecture, small and large group discussion, and feedback. Supplemental materials overviewing some key terms and concepts within DEI will also be provided. |

Knowledge of OBM concepts is also not required for this workshop. Participants may include BCBA’s, BCaBA’s, BCBA-D’s, or other supervisors, students, and other certified professionals. |
