Workshop Description:

My initial forays into ABA came in the 70s and while never facing overt hostility in our field, I have been targeted with many micro-aggressions over the many decades. I will elaborate on the topic of micro-aggressions and how historically marginalized groups have been affected by them. Finally, I will conclude with recommendations on how I have addressed both overt and covert hostility in the professional arena and how, after 50 years, I managed to survive in ABA. In this presentation, I will discuss experiences of overt hostility in the field. I will also discuss strategies to address such challenges and how those strategies foster a “culture of giving” in ABA.
