As behavior analysis expands across diverse populations and domains of life, the need for culturally responsive practice has moved from a peripheral consideration to a central requirement of ethical, effective service delivery. Culturally responsive consultation addresses the gap between the universal principles of behavior that underpin ABA and the cultural contexts in which those principles are applied.

Join Free →As behavior analysis continues its growth not only across domains of life but also across different populations, an accounting for the diversity of participants and stakeholders increases both with regards to the assessment of behavior and the choices of interventions. Updates within the Behavior Analyst Certification Board's (BACB's) Ethical Guidelines specifically address these areas but do not provide a methodology to address these concerns in clinical practice. An article published by Sivaraman and Fahmie (2020) utilized a framework provided by Bernal et al., 1995 to provide parent consultation services to a community in Chennai, India. This parent consultation included an adapted training to account for the cultural differences between the training creators and the population to whom the training was delivered. This training covers the Sivaraman and Fahmie (2020) article as well as activities to adjust the process to other population groups.
