Abstract: The field of Applied Behavior Analysis has come under close scrutiny by those in the autistic community. These presenters will share their unique experience of working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis while also being autistic. They hold the roles as Registered Behavior Technicians and Board Certified Behavior Analysts. The panelists will also share ways that the field can implement strategies and accommodations to move toward compassionate care, inclusivity, and employment. This panel discussion will engage in an honest, vulnerable, and insightful discussion of the strengths and limitations of what we are doing in Applied Behavior Analysis to serve members of the autistic community and learn to be better at listening to autistic voices. They will share experiences on how to better include autistic opinions and feedback in our practices. These discussions can offer a future of greater inclusivity, increased employment in the field, flexibility, and increased compassionate care practices.
