| Title | Outreach and People with Disabilities from Diverse Cultures: A Review of the Literature |
| Body | From: OELA Newsline [Source: January, 2004, issue of E-News: The Electronic Newsletter of the National Institute for Urban School Improvement] This report from the National Council on Disability Cultural Diversity Initiative discusses the barriers that hamper the full participation in many aspects of society of people with disabilities who are also from diverse cultures. According to the publication, a growing body of research on this issue indicates that barriers include the lack of culturally appropriate outreach, language and communication barriers, attitudinal barriers, and the shortage of individuals from diverse cultures in the disability services professions. For over a decade, the National Council on Disability (NCD) has worked to make national disability policies, laws, programs, and services more responsive to people with disabilities from the broad array of cultures that enrich our country. As a part of its Cultural Diversity Initiative (CDI), NCD sought to answer fundamental questions about outreach: What is it? What are current outreach definitions, themes, models, and challenges? What is the state of disability/diversity outreach at the national level by the federal government? To view the report, visit: http://www.ncd.gov/newsroom/advisory/cultural/cdi_litreview.html |
