Equity in early intervention starts with relationships that are culturally responsive and respectful. Build awareness, knowledge, and skills to advance equity through culturally competent practices. Explore concepts of diversity, equity, and cultural competence while reflecting on personal biases and values. Consider how cultural beliefs influence family expectations and experiences. Engage with real-world scenarios, hear family perspectives, and review current data on equity challenges in early intervention. End with practical strategies that make equity and inclusion part of everyday professional practice.
