The balance between evidence-based practice and embedding client preference can be difficult to navigate to ensure social validity and improved behavior outcomes. Importantly, culturally responsive behavior analytic practices cannot exist at the expense of following data-driven best practices. This endeavor can be further complicated in educational settings, where resources are limited, environments are more variable, and environmental contingencies may not support behavior analytic approaches. This presentation will describe ongoing work to collaborate with administrators, teachers, and staff in preschool and public schools to provide behavior analytic support to promote student inclusion, enhance staff skill development, and improve student outcomes.
