Culture and Language Inclusion in the Practice of Applied Behavior Analysis: A Call to Action
November 17, 2021 @ 10am PST / 1pm EST
Duration: 1 Hour and 30 Minutes
Presented by Dr. Crystal Hernandez and Natalie Williams Awodeha
Failure to consider culture, across systems of care, not only violates our ethical standards, it also perpetuates a system of oppression within the ABA industry, and in the larger health care context in the United States (U.S.). The twin purposes of this article are to discuss disparities in autism service delivery, and to provide an overview of recommended practice parameters, guided by the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) in Health and Health Care (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [DHHS], Office of Minority Health, 2016). Now is the time for ABA providers to acknowledge our own skill deficits and modify our maladaptive behaviors that have led many to question the relevance of our field, as a whole. 1.5 BACB Ethics CEUs are offered for this webinar. CEUs are $20 for non-members and free for BHCOE-accredited organizations and members. In order to be eligible for BACB CEUs, participants must attend the event online to ensure the participant accesses both the audio and visual portions of the presentation. Dial in can be used to supplement the audio features of the webinar only. Participants attending the webinar by dial-in only will not be eligible for CEUs. Additionally, participants must attend the webinar for a minimum of 50 minutes in order to be eligible for 1 CEU (25 minutes for .5 CEUs). CEUs are only processed for live attendance of the event. Once purchased, no refunds will be issued. If a CE webinar is canceled due to low enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances, the registrant receives an automatic 100% refund at the time of cancellation.
