This textbook provides a theoretical and clinical framework for addressing multiculturalism and diversity in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA).
Featuring contributions from national experts, practicing clinicians, researchers, and academics which balance both a scholarly and practical perspective, this book guides the reader through theoretical foundations to clinical applications to help behavior analysts understand the impact of diversity in the ABA service delivery model. This fully updated second edition includes updates applicable to the new BACB® Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts. Chapters contain case studies, practice considerations, and discussion questions to aid further learning. Accompanying the book is an online test bank for students and instructors to assess the knowledge they have learned about various diversity topics.
This book is essential for graduate students and faculty in ABA programs, supervisors looking to enhance a supervisee’s understanding of working with diverse clients, and practicing behavior analysts in the field wanting to increase their awareness of working with diverse populations.
