Bilingual ABA Supervision Insights

In this episode, Matt Harrington reviews a survey-based study by Loya and colleagues that shines a light on the unique challenges faced by bilingual BCBAs—from translation burdens and on-the-fly interpretation strain to cultural nuances, discrimination, blurred roles, and ethical risks. He discusses practical strategies for supporting bilingual providers, including translated materials and glossaries, access to qualified interpreters, increased bilingual hiring, and culturally competent training.
