DR. LYZ HUGHES FONG MEMORIAL KEYNOTE: SHAPING TOMORROW: SCIENCE AND EQUITY IN BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS DR. NOOR SYED Equity challenges in the ABA field and broader social environment have shaped access to services, representation, and research, sometimes advancing inclusion and, at other times, perpetuating systemic inequities. In this discussion, we will examine historical moments, current data, and ethical dilemmas that underscore the importance of cultural responsivity and humility towards mitigating those inequities. As Dr. Lyz Hughes Fong reminds us, "Cultural humility is not just a skill—it’s a mindset. It’s about listening, learning, and being willing to be wrong.” Together, we will explore practical, evidenced-based strategies that embed human rights, equity, and responsivity into our work as behavior analysts— and we will start by our willingness to listen, learn, and be wrong.
