Join Free →As the COVID-19 pandemic impacted everyone's experience, the reality of being both a parent and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst became very vivid. Parenting and being a BCBA brings many issues of both roles under scrutiny. Parent/BCBAs are faced with how our professional role impacts our parenting and how our parenting has enhanced our professional roles. Our panel, composed of four behavior analysts who bring intersectionality to the core of behavioral practices; by emphasizing race, culture, mental health, language, and ethnicity will review the characteristics of behavior analytic professionals, the impact of these characteristics on the profession, and doing so with compassion and cultural humility. We will discuss the definition of a parent and illustrate the unique intricacies of being a parent and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. We define observational learning from a behavior analytic point of view and discuss its importance in our role as parents and behavior analysts. Panelists will then share their four unique and culturally diverse perspectives on childrearing and the enhanced views gained through these experiences when providing applied behavior analytic services. Each panelist will share what they have learned parenting through a behavior analytic lens and reflections from their parenting experience that will enhance behavior analytic services provided.
