“…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).…”

“…The ACT hexaflex contains six primary processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, value, committed action, self-as-context, and present moment awareness (Hayes et al, 2006). These processes work to develop a "repertoire that adapts to environmental conditions and contingencies rather than engagement in rigid repertoires based on history or verbal stimuli" (Wilson et al, 2022). ACT aims to strengthen a client's psychological flexibility, made possible and demonstrated by contextually relevant use of all six ACT processes.…”

“…ACT aims to strengthen a client's psychological flexibility, made possible and demonstrated by contextually relevant use of all six ACT processes. That is, the client attends to the present moment in response to contextual variables, accepts the presence of aversive private events without engaging with them, and commits to engaging in behavior that is consistent with their values (Wilson et al, 2022).…”

“…In fact, ACT interventions are increasingly utilized in ABA to address socially significant behavior. For example, ACT has been used as a treatment package with children to address many different dependent variables including psychological inflexibility (Enoch & Dixon, 2019), mindful awareness and present moment focus (Enoch & Dixon, 2017, 2019, on-task behavior (Wilson et al, 2022), school attendance (Heffner et al, 2002;Morris & Greco, 2002), reduction of problem behavior (Wilson et al, 2022), and has even been suggested for use in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic (C. M. Tarbox et al, 2021;J. Tarbox et al, 2022).…”

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.

Canadian colleges and universities have begun to acknowledge systemic and institutionalized racism by developing equity statements and policies in support of diverse and accessible learning environments. To encourage these equitable statements and policies as actionable, analysis of racial bias and methods for reducing its occurrence are warranted. In this article, literature on relational frame theory in the context of racial prejudice is reviewed, including treatment approaches shown to be less effective and those that appear promising. The integration of a functional contextual approach into pedagogy is considered with an aim to better understand the origins of racial prejudice. Finally, recommendations on the examination of personal and sociocultural bias among educators and their students are provided.
