**This course will provide the participant with 2 Learning Ethics Type BACB CEU**
Description of Ethics Learning Type CE Event: They say “People do business with people they know, like, and trust”, but according to The 25 Essential Skills of a Behavior Analyst by Bailey and Burch, “We have a long way to go in terms of our image”. And in comparison to other scientists and professionals, we do not have a seat at the ‘cool kids’ table. Can you blame them? “Behavior analysts are a gaggle of behavioral geeks who spout technical terms that sound somewhat ominous and threatening” (pg 4). This is because at times we lack cultural humility and the understanding that each individual, culture, or sub culture often responds differently to the same set of contingencies. Without seeking to understand an individual's history of reinforcement and exposing ourselves to idiosyncratic cultural norms, we are inadvertently putting ourselves as practitioners in positions where we are not liked or trusted. This training will promote strategies on how to effectively interact with and provide interventions for families that we service by leading with understanding of who they are instead of leading with the science of ABA. This training will also include a storytelling method of teaching to help the learner gain insight on the caregiver’s perspective. Dominique Shorter-Taylor, also known on Youtube as Dom the BCBA Mom, has mastered reaching and disseminating our science to the masses in an unconventional and progressive way. This training will shed light on her unique experience and intersectionality of being a BCBA, Autism mom, and woman of color. While helping to develop essential skills for those BCBAs who frequently interact with parents/caregivers and those who intend to disseminate the science of Applied Behavior Analysis with Cultural Responsiveness and Diversity
