“…Research on the ACT with children has been conducted through both direct observation of behavior (Wilson et al, 2022) and self-report measures (Enoch & Dixon, 2019); effects have been demonstrated through a combination of single case and group design studies (Coyne et al, 2011). In fact, there are even ACT-based curricula explicitly designed and adapted for use with children (e.g., Dixon, 2014; Dixon & Paliliunas, 2017).…”

Behavior analysts are increasingly using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as an intervention package in their practice to change socially significant overt behaviors. One children’s movie, Disney Pixar’s Luca, contains an abundance of ACT hexaflex examples throughout the duration of the film. The ACT examples in this movie are well illustrated and thus could be used by practitioners as video examples when working with children and families, as well as when teaching aspiring behavior analysts about ACT. This discussion includes a descriptive analysis of the Luca movie from start to finish, highlighting specific ACT examples and nonexamples demonstrated in the movie. In addition, an accompanying table includes specific time-stamped examples and nonexamples of ACT skills. Lastly, the implications of ACT strategies being used in the media are reviewed. Ultimately, the success of Luca may provide behavior analysts with a model for the dissemination of behavior analytic technology that allows for embedment in cultural practices.
