Culturally Competent Transition Planning
There is a growing acknowledgement – and body of research – showing that culturally responsive practices play a significant role in improving post-school outcomes for youth with disabilities. It is important that students and their families have equal access to culturally and linguistically diverse information, resources, services, and knowledgeable personnel when transition planning is taking place. In this issue of RAISE The Standard, RAISE explores what it means to bring a culturally competent approach to transition planning and why it is vital to do so.
