Today is autism awareness day, and April is autism awareness month. As someone who works with this population, I find it an honor. Some days can be challenging in my role, but I would not be the man I am without the kids who have changed my life #ABASky
Damn this letter went hard, they said: This makes it all the more glaring that the very group who benefits most from DEI protections in the workplace, white women, is also the most represented among BACB certificants, yet the organization still chose to fold under pressure (LeanIn.org, 2022) #ABASky
As a Latino who works with a vast demographics many who have autism, I am very disappointed in the BACB to remove any requirement for DEI ethics CUEs to maintain your cert. DEI is all about cultural competency which the board is supposed to champion. I am just appalled at this decision #ABASky
In March 2022, the BACB announced several revisions to BCBA and BCaBA certification requirements that are scheduled to be implemented in 2027. These revisions included integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEl) content into several course-content areas (Behavior Assessment and Intervention, Organizational Behavior Management, and Ethics) and adding a new continuing education unit (CEU) category on DEl. The original intent of the subject matter experts (SMEs) who recommended these revisions to the BACB Board of Directors was to ensure that training adequately prepared BCBAs and BCaBAs to adapt their practices to diverse cultural and personal backgrounds and characteristics-crucial elements of behavior-analytic assessment and treatment. Recently, anti-DEl initiatives have gained traction across the US through state laws, regulatory activity, and federal executive orders. The BACB has invested years of effort to ensure that its certification programs are widely recognized by funders and state licensure programs. Maintaining this recognition is essential to protecting the value of these credentials for certificants and the consumers they serve. However, incorporating DEl content in our upcoming requirements may jeopardize this widespread recognition. Given the critical role these certifications play in employment and licensure, the BACB has a responsibility to safeguard their standing. To address these concerns while maintaining the integrity of training requirements, the BACB Board of Directors authorized an SME study of the upcoming changes. A committee of 12 SMEs met virtually to review the planned requirements. Their collective expertise included behavior-analytic assessment and intervention across diverse populations and settings, knowledge of how BACB certification programs have been recognized by funders and regulators, and the cultural and contextual adaptation of behavior-analytic procedures.
I am ashamed to have a BCBA under the BACB. #ABASky

I was at Barclays last night when the Nets retired Vince Carter’s #15! Great ceremony.
