Young children from racial minority groups are at higher risk for disabilities and developmental delay as a result of conditions associated with poverty. The authors discuss principles that guide culturally competent practice with families of infants and toddlers with disabilities and ways in which family-centered practice approaches incorporate these guidelines. Practitioner strategies for developing cultural competence in order to work responsively with this diverse population are presented.

Facebook has a potential to critically engage students and merge their roles as writers and readers in a digital environment. Facebook reinforces students to share diverse cultural and individual rhetorical appeals, situations, and strategies. In this pedagogical setting, not only do students share a complex set of linguistic and cultural codes, but they also become technologically and cross-culturally competent human power. Facebook pedagogy encourages students to contest, question, and negotiate their cultural literacies and their prior experiences in first-year composition classes.

Published Evidence

Existing culturally competent models of care and guidelines are directing the responses of healthcare providers to culturally diverse populations. However, there is a lack of research into how or if these models and guidelines can be translated into the primary care context of family violence. This systematic review aimed to synthesise published evidence to explore the components of culturally competent primary care response for women experiencing family violence. We define family violence as any form of abuse perpetrated against a woman either by her intimate partner or the partner’s family member. We included English language peer-reviewed articles and grey literature items that explored interactions between culturally diverse women experiencing family violence and their primary care clinicians. We refer women of migrant and refugee backgrounds, Indigenous women and women of ethnic minorities collectively as culturally diverse women. We searched eight electronic databases and websites of Australia-based relevant organisations. Following a critical interpretive synthesis of 28 eligible peer-reviewed articles and 16 grey literature items, we generated 11 components of culturally competent family violence related primary care. In the discussion section, we interpreted our findings using an ecological framework to develop a model of care that provides insights into how components at the primary care practice level should coordinate with components at the primary care provider level to enable efficient support to these women experiencing family violence. The review findings are applicable beyond the family violence primary care context.

This article presents a discussion of issues and practices for promoting culturally competent rehabilitation counseling services. These issues and practices include how and by whom disability is defined, and how services are offered and made accessible for individuals and families from culturally diverse backgrounds. Acknowledgment of issues of bicultural/bilingual status, incorporation of cultural knowledge into practice, communication that promotes both information and meaning, and the concept of responsive services were discussed.

Purpose We provide a preliminary report on speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) practices with regard to the selection of representative materials for clinical service delivery. Method We conducted a pilot survey of the practices of SLPs serving children under age 9 years, asking them about the books used, their own race, and the racial composition of their caseload. The survey was begun by 181 SLPs. Complete responses from 22 Black SLPs and 79 White SLPs were coded for the race of the protagonist of the named books and the rationale given for book selection. Results Black SLPs were more likely than White SLPs to report selecting books with people and selecting books with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color protagonists. For neither group did the book selection align with their own reported intents to select diverse books. SLP race and the racial composition of caseloads were tightly aligned. Thus, we lacked the power to determine if caseload composition uniquely predicted diverse books selection or motivations provided. Conclusions There is a need to better understand selection of materials by SLPs as it relates to culturally competent practice. Additional methods (focus groups and purposive sampling) would be required to fully understand the social pressures and motivations influencing SLP decisions.

School Practices

This chapter provides in-depth discussion of concepts and principles related to the development of cultural competence in school districts located in rural areas and smaller cities that have and are becoming racially, linguistically, and culturally diverse. The authors offer practical steps that help support the development of cultural competence among pre-service teachers, educators, and administrators. This framework can be implemented to create district-level professional development courses that can be used to renew teacher licenses. Additionally, suggestions of how to best address the discipline among culturally diverse students, and how to build authentic relationships with students, parents and the community are also discussed.

As the demographic transformation of the U.S. population continues, the challenges of multicultural and diversity-based considerations remain a central focus, as does the need to incorporate cultural competencies into the practice ofrehabilitation. The Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification's 2010 Code of Professional Ethicsfor Rehabilitation Counselors offers guidance for the practice of professional conduct and ethical decision making when one is working with individuals from culturally diverse groups and backgrounds. The revised code sets the expectation that the culturally competent rehabilitation counselor will develop interventions and services that are congruent with the client's values and cultural context.
