Cultural Brokerage Objective: Develop and nurture partnerships with organizations representing or affiliated with diverse communities. Theme: Personnel and Trainees

Provide resources on translation, interpretation and cultural brokering to the direct support professional community and people with disabilities. Develop relationships with diverse organizations serving diverse cultural and faith communities who have State or Territory affiliates to broker relationships with UCEDD/LEND programs at both national and State or Territory levels. Faith communities serve as the key community center in many minority and immigrant communities. Increase partnerships with organizations representing families, as well as disability and/or health professionals from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds to access expertise, leverage resources, and maximize reach.
