Description This panel focused on the strategies used by local professionals to support the advancement of the science of behavior and telehealth practices in underserved areas of Australia, the Czech Republic, and Spain. The panelists shared their, and their teams’, experiences of, and recommendations for, practicing in these places. Practitioners from these communities, fluent in the native languages and cultures, shared their trials and tribulations in working to grow applied behavior analysis (ABA) in a sustainable way. Some specific challenges, such as access to resources, aftermath of previous "banking models" of dissemination from overseas, and the need to simultaneously establish a community of practice across all modalities (i.e., in-person, remote, parent-led, therapist-led, etc..) will be explored. Emphasis were placed on the emergent need for telepractice and its intersection with convincing stakeholders to fund a novel science and method of use. The panel encourages attendees to share their experiences. Ideally, participants will come away with strategies for success that can be used in their own efforts to establish ABA and telepractice in the underserved areas of the world in which they live and work.
