Abstract
Behavior analysis is an extraordinary science and used wisely, can make crucial contributions to individuals, groups, and even entire countries. Thus, behavior analysis should be a science available and known to all, regardless of origin, culture, race, ethnicity, or gender. As an advocate for the use and dissemination of behavior science in Latin American countries and as the first person to be certified in my country, I present my experience as a Latin American woman in the field of behavior analysis and invite other women in Latin America to pursue behavior analysis. This article provides a description of the challenges in practicing ABA internationally, outlines my actions to overcome those challenges, and includes specific recommendations to other practitioners in the field.
期刊介绍：
Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
