Abstract
The growing Asian population in the United States has resulted in a need for behavior analysts who have the necessary knowledge and skills in tailoring applied behavior analysis (ABA) treatments to the unique cultural variations of Asian American clients and families. The purpose of this chapter is to provide ABA clinicians with strategies that will be useful in working with Asian American clients and their families in delivering ABA treatment. Specifically, this chapter will: (1) discuss the need for culturally sensitive behavior analysts, (2) provide a brief overview of the unique barriers and obstacles to receiving ABA treatments experienced by Asian American individuals with disabilities and their families, (3) discuss the literature on models or approaches to cultural adaptation of treatments, and (4) offer specific strategies for use by behavior analysts in delivering culturally tailored ABA treatment services to Asian American clients and families.
