Online CEU: Saving Lives with Gender Affirming Care - Integrating Inclusive Practices into ABA

This course qualifies for 1.5 Learning Type CEU (Ethics).

Description of Event Content (Abstract) Gender-affirming care is a critical component of ethical and effective healthcare, yet many fields, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), lack comprehensive guidelines for integrating inclusive practices. This presentation explores the life-saving impact of gender-affirming care and its intersection with ABA. We will examine evidence-based strategies for creating affirming environments, addressing barriers to care, and implementing inclusive interventions that respect and support LGBTQIA+ clients. By integrating gender-affirming practices into ABA, professionals can improve client outcomes, enhance therapeutic relationships, and contribute to a more inclusive field. Attendees will leave with practical tools to ensure their practices align with affirming, ethical, and person-centered care. Justification for Ethics CE Participants will learn to uphold BACB Ethics Code standards, including cultural responsiveness (1.07), nondiscrimination (1.08), scope of competence (1.05), informed consent (2.05), and effective treatment (2.01).
