| Description: Behavior analysts work with diverse populations. It is imperative that all clinicians take a cultural perspective when creating and implementing programs for direct service recipient (e.g., person with disability, parent, teacher, trainee, etc.). It is the ethical duty of all ABA providers to “operate in the best interest of the clients.” (Bailey & Burch, 2016). To fully operate in the best interest of clients, a clinician must consider cultural differences in their programming. There are many different cultures to take into consideration. This workshop will focus on providing services to Latinx individuals. The workshop will define and discuss definitions of different Latinx groups, discuss culture as it pertains to Latinx people, discuss stereotypes and misconceptions of Latinx groups, explore the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)’s perspective on culture, take an ethical approach to providing culturally sensitive services, discuss translating and interpreting, and give an overview of working with Latinx parents, clients, and trainees. Workshop participants will also discuss inherent power inequities that may arise due to racial, gender, age, and educational factors. |
