Quote: "A family-centered approach is critical, especially given that many communities of color, and immigrants/first generation peoples tend to be family- and multi-generational oriented. Linda Sandman, my mentor and Director of Clinical Services and Training Director at the Developmental Disabilities Family Clinic at the Institute on Disability and Human Development in Chicago, a clinic serving primarily Black/African American, and Latino/a families, has made it clear that her work must be a family approach, because a traditional/psychology/Western/hegemonic/capitalist individual approach would not work." -Rebekah Moras, PhD, Research Professional, Center for Human Development (AK)
