Abstract
For the intervention to be successful, it is necessary to be able to develop collaboration with the person for whom the intervention is designed, as well as caregivers and other people involved in their life, seeking to understand the person integrally in their personal and social context. Behavior analysts who bring lived experience of what it is like to be neurodivergent or to be a caregiver for a neurodivergent person bring to their work a perspective that has an impact on their professional performance. In this talk, two mothers who became professionals in behavior analysis in search of better care for their children, talk about how their lived experience affects their professional career, bringing an intimate understanding and an important motivation to help other families and professionals achieve results similar to those observed in their children. By exploring this trajectory, we recognize not only the scientific and technical aspects, but also the ethical and personal challenges faced by these professionals, such as: the balance between the ethical commitment to the practice of ABA and their personal involvement with the neurodivergent community , in order to guarantee the privacy and confidentiality of customer information, and promote the self-determination, dignity and rights of each individual.
