Description
We will describe a 4-hour training curriculum created and delivered to Spanish interpreters. In addition to learning about the project, participants will explore values of Latinx and disability cultures, and how these values simultaneously act as facilitators and barriers for Latinx people with disabilities. We will discuss intersectional topics including: language of advocacy, the balance between independence and familial involvement for Latinx people with disabilities, and health disparities.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 15: Cultural & Ethnic Diversity & Linguistic Competence
