REPLACE WITH (new intro placed before the existing H3 "Setting the Stage..."):
Your family eats dinner late. Your grandmother lives in the home and is a primary caregiver. Spanish — or Mandarin, or Bengali, or Yoruba — is the language spoken when your child gets upset. When you start looking into ABA therapy for your child with autism, one of the first quiet worries is whether the therapist will understand any of this, or whether they'll walk in and try to bend your family into something you're not.
Cultural sensitivity in behavior therapy isn't a checkbox. It's the difference between a program that fits inside your real life and one that fights it. Here's what culturally responsive practice actually looks like — and what to ask about when you're choosing a provider for your child.
(Keep the existing "Setting the Stage for Culturally Sensitive Behavior Therapy" section as-is below this new intro.)
