The increasing diversity of our population virtually guarantees that practitioners’ caseloads will include children and families from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Because of a lack of training in this area, even practitioners who value culturally competent care and authentic family participation in early intervention may struggle to implement culturally sensitive practices. This program focuses on practical models and strategies to promote change in practice at several levels, and covers assessment and intervention practices across cultures (e.g., the use of cultural mediators, dynamic assessment).
Learning Outcomes
