The Latin American BCBA community is expanding rapidly, and with that growth comes a set of professional challenges that existing training programs and ethics resources have not fully addressed. Isabel Mendoza Naim's presentation confronts a tension that many bilingual and bicultural behavior analysts recognize but rarely see discussed explicitly: the gap between professional behaviors that are culturally normative in Latin American contexts and behaviors that the BACB Ethics Code identifies as potentially problematic or outright violations.

Durante esta presentación aprenderemos a identificar comportamientos profesionales comunes aceptables en nuestra cultura hispana y evaluaremos cuál de esos compromete y/o viola el Código de Ética del BACB. Una vez que la audiencia identifique sus comportamientos culturales y evalúe sus propios prejuicios, exploraremos las habilidades sociales necesarias y cómo desarrollarlas para seguir siendo éticos en la prestación de servicios mientras nos mantenemos culturalmente competentes y no perdemos nuestra conexión con nuestros valores y esencia cultural que tanto nos identifica.
