This symposium focuses on serving individuals and families who represent culturally diverse backgrounds, in both educational and clinical practice. The first presentation emphasizes breadth, with a focus on service delivery in public K-12 schools. This talk addresses current educational disparities, the application of culturally responsive practice in schools, and recommendations for practitioners, including using a tool for practitioner self-evaluation and reflection. The second presentation emphasizes depth, focusing on the unique challenges faced by Chinese immigrant parents. This talk addresses between-culture distinctions among immigrant, traditional, and American parents, and recommendations for compassionate and culturally responsive coaching practices for behavior analysts. Attendees will leave with an understanding of cultural issues in education and parenting, applications of compassionate and culturally responsive practices, and self-evaluation.
