Recent events have highlighted the need for behavior analysis to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in service provision and in higher education. There has been a call to action issued, noting the need for cultural humility and cultural responsiveness. An opportunity exists within training programs to ensure that students of behavior analysis are instructed in ways that promote cultural responsiveness and that equip them to serve diverse populations. Additionally, more needs to be done to engineer environments where students of behavior analysis are treated with respect and compassion, and to ensure that educational environments promote the comfort and success of all students. This article outlines the initiatives of an applied behavior analysis department to gather information about DEI on the local level, identify goals, implement change, and evaluate progress toward these goals.
近期事件凸显了行为分析在解决服务提供和高等教育中的多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）问题方面的必要性。已经发出了行动呼吁，指出需要文化谦逊和文化响应能力。培训项目中有机会确保以促进文化响应能力的方式指导行为分析专业的学生，并使他们有能力为不同人群提供服务。此外，还需要做更多工作来营造一种环境，让行为分析专业的学生受到尊重和关爱，并确保教育环境能促进所有学生的舒适感和学业成就。本文概述了一个应用行为分析部门为在地方层面收集有关DEI的信息、确定目标、实施变革以及评估这些目标的进展情况而开展的各项举措。
