For decades, behaviour analysts have worked to develop evidence-based interventions that improve quality of life for children and families.But evidence-based doesn't always mean culturally responsive.In this episode, Ben welcomes Chloe Wang, BCBA and PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia, whose dissertation explores a culturally responsive, group-based Family-Centred Positive Behaviour Support program designed specifically for Chinese immigrant families of children with autism.Chloe shares her remarkable journey from immigrating to Canada as a teenager, discovering behaviour analysis almost by accident, completing her master's degree at Brock University, helping establish an autism treatment centre in China, and returning to UBC to pursue research that bridges science with culture.One of the most compelling aspects of Chloe's work is her commitment to co-design. Before launching her randomized controlled trial, she conducted focus groups with both families and professionals to refine every aspect of the intervention—from language and examples to program structure and delivery.Those conversations led to significant changes, including splitting the original 16-week program into two levels and expanding discussions around reinforcement and punishment after families expressed a desire to fully understand behavioural principles before embracing Positive Behaviour Support.Ben and Chloe also explore:Why culture influences how families experience behavioural interventionThe importance of implementation science in clinical practiceFamily-centred PBS across prevention tiersMeasuring meaningful outcomes beyond behaviour reductionMaintaining treatment effects after intervention endsUsing technology to improve long-term sustainabilityFuture directions for culturally responsive behaviour analysisThis episode highlights how listening to families doesn't weaken behaviour analysis—it strengthens it.As our profession continues to grow globally, Chloe's work provides a thoughtful roadmap for adapting evidence-based practice while remaining grounded in behavioural science.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4qOZ1GAVFCwContinuing Education Credits (https://www.cbiconsultants.com/shop)BACB: 1.5 EthicsIBAO:  1.5 CulturalQABA: 1.5 EthicsCBA/CPD: 1.5 Cultural Diversity  Follow us!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behaviourspeak/LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/behaviourspeak/TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@behaviorspeak Contact ChloeLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chloewangaba/City Medical Child Development Centrehttps://citychildclinic.com/case-study/chloe-wang/Interested in learning more about Positive Behaviour Support and culturally responsive practice?
