Abstract

As the demographic makeup of the population changes, early childhood practitioners must be responsive to the diversity in schools, agencies, and communities. This session will highlight the importance of incorporating culturally responsive practices when serving families of young children with disabilities from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Attendees will learn about these practices and why they are critical in developing respectful and responsive partnerships with families.
