Description

This poster describes the infusion of cultural competence into the Georgia Leadership and Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (GaLEND) program. Cultural competence was incorporated into the curriculum using both explicit and implicit instructional strategies. These instructional strategies will be described on the poster. GaLEND trainees provided feedback on their cultural competence instruction through end-of-year focus group discussions. Their perceptions of the curriculum will be examined in this presentation.
