Modern social movements are acknowledging inequity and encouraging discourse and action to bring about change for disenfranchised communities. The ivory towers of academia, and intellectualism specifically, have contributed to an alarming separation of research from the real-world experiences of people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Biases that lead to inequity exist within the discipline and application of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Practitioners of ABA can harness society's drive to address such inequities by critically analyzing our field and establishing new repertoires of professional behaviors. Systemic change in the field can promote social justice and improve access to effective ABA services. Promoting professional learning and application of cultural humility, directly addressing diversity, and focusing on socially significant behaviors, can increase the effective, equitable application of the science of ABA.
