Perspective, Power, and Practice is a four-part learning series for behaviour analysts, behaviour support practitioners, and professionals working across disability, education, and related support contexts. The series explores how culture, power, and systems shape professional knowledge, decision-making, and impact in everyday practice.

Rather than treating culture as something individuals possess, these courses approach culture as context: the social, historical, institutional, and relational conditions that influence meaning, expectations, and behaviour. Learners are invited to reflect on how assumptions become embedded in practice, how power operates through systems, and how harm can occur even when intentions are good.

The courses are designed as a progressive learning pathway, moving from foundational reflection on perspective and power, through intersectionality and systems-level thinking, toward applied ethical decision-making and contextual fit. Short lectures, reflective prompts, and interactive elements support thoughtful, real-world learning.

This series does not offer prescriptive models or checklists. Instead, it supports practitioners to slow down, ask better questions, and consider whose perspectives are centred, whose needs are prioritised, and how professional decisions affect others in context.

Courses may be completed individually or as a full series.

FAQ

  • Do I need to complete the courses in order?

    No, the courses can be completed individually and in any order. However, they are designed as a progressive learning series, with each course building on ideas introduced earlier. Completing them in sequence supports a deeper, more coherent understanding.

  • How will this apply to my real-world practice?

    These courses are not about prescribing techniques or providing checklists. Instead, they support reflective practice by helping you examine how your existing knowledge, assumptions, and decisions operate in context. The focus is on noticing patterns, questioning defaults, and thinking more carefully about impact.

  • How is this relevant to Cultural Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?

    This series approaches CDEI as an ongoing professional practice rather than a set of terms or topics. The courses focus on understanding culture, power, systems, and positionality, and how these shape practice decisions, collaboration, and outcomes over time.

  • Who is this series for?

    This series is designed for behaviour analysts, behaviour support practitioners, and professionals working across disability, education, and related support contexts. It is for people who recognise that ethical practice requires ongoing reflection on culture, power, and impact, not just technical skill or rule compliance. The content is not limited to particular client groups or settings. It is relevant wherever professional decisions shape other people’s lives, access, dignity, or opportunities.

  • How many PDUs (ABAA) or CEUs (BACB) can I earn from this series?

    Across the full series, you can earn a total of 3.5 PDUs / CEUs. For ABAA, these hours may be claimed as Cultural Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion PDUs. For BACB, the courses are suitable to be claimed as Ethics CEUs, based on course content and learning objectives.

    As with all professional development, participants are responsible for determining how activities are recorded in accordance with their certifying body’s requirements. Each course includes guidance on how the learning outcomes and activities align with the ABAA and BACB Codes of Ethical Practice, to help you understand and explain the relevance of the content to cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion.
