These barriers include language, persons, methods, concepts, metaphors, content, goals, and context. It is vital to identify which barriers are present in order to implement the necessary cultural adaptations. Throughout the symposium authors utilize a compassionate approach to increase cultural responsiveness within the field of ABA. Specifically, the authors utilize telehealth procedures to execute a culturally responsive treatment package. This is done through the use of a translator, collaborator, and manipulating environmental variables. Following the symposium participants will be able to identify cultural barriers, implement cultural adaptations, and develop a culturally responsive treatment package.
