Culturally Responsive Family Support Practicum

In this service learning course undergraduate students will learn to provide evidence-based culturally responsive interventions with families of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) from culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) communities. Students will learn how to build culturally responsive partnerships with families, provide evidence-based interventions for children with IDD and their families, and professional and ethical behavior. Experience will be gained through an on-campus program, Horizons, that serves the local community of CLD families of children with IDD. Class includes discussions, reading and analyzing research, implementing intervention with children and their families, evaluating progress and problem solving to improve children’s learning.
