Webinar: What does Cultural and Linguistic Competence mean for Direct Support Professionals?
Apr 9 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

What does Cultural and Linguistic Competence mean for Direct Support Professionals?

The importance of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) cannot be understated. DSPs The roles of DSPs have evolved from solely caregiving and focuses more broadly on supporting people across the full spectrum of disabilities to have meaningful lives in the communities in which they live, go to school, work, parent, engage in recreation, worship, and share friendships and other intimate relationships. This session will focus on: 1) cultural competence and linguistic competence and how these concepts and practices relate to the everyday responsibilities of DSPs and the people across racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups that they support and their families; and 2) the unique issues that DSPs face due to their multiple cultural identities and experiences attributed intersectionality, social location, discrimination and the “isms.”

Webinar: Engaging Diverse Communities in Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities
May 21 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Engaging Diverse Communities in Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities

Many of this nation’s communities have been oppressed, minoritized, and discriminated against. For some within these communities, their history in the US, territories, and tribal nations, is compounded by current day realities perpetuated by inequities. Establishing and sustaining broad-based community partnerships that support the full inclusion of and equity for persons who experience intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families present myriad benefits while simultaneously presenting unique challenges. Many IDD organizations and programs continue to struggle to engage communities in a culturally and linguistically competent manner. This session will present six key strategies and approaches to engage the culturally and linguistically diverse communities of New York State.
