When I first started my journey in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I quickly realized that technical skills alone weren’t enough. The heart of ABA lies in understanding people - their backgrounds, values, and unique experiences. That’s where cultural humility comes in. It’s not just a buzzword; it’s a vital mindset that shapes how we connect, assess, and intervene. Today, I want to share why cultural humility matters so much in ABA and how embracing it can transform our work into something truly equitable and impactful.
