Effective Partnership with Diverse Families

The key focus during mediation and dispute resolution is to examine what the mediators and facilitators  can do to enhance their services for people from culturally and linguistically diverse  backgrounds and to  identify core components of effective culturally sensitive family dispute resolution practice.

This presentation is for professionals who serve youth/young adults with disabilities and are interested in improving postsecondary outcomes for people with significant disabilities from low-income and CLD communities.  We will discuss how to engage CLD families in transition planning, provide culturally and linguistically appropriate resources, and identify strategies to align service delivery.
