This article focuses on the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in mentorship within a different field, along with the introduction of an assessment tool to facilitate the evaluation of cultural competence in these relationships. Understanding and utilizing an assessment tool such as this can be transformative for you as an ABA student. It encourages self-reflection and the consideration of both your own and your clients' positionalities—key components in delivering culturally competent ABA services. By applying these principles and tools in your practice, you can better navigate the complexities of identity and culture, leading to more ethical and effective interventions that respect and understand the diverse backgrounds of your clients and their communities.
