E.10 · Culturally responsive and inclusive services
Here's a skill that shows up in every case you'll ever take: fitting your services to the real family in front of you, without letting go of the science. Let's look at what culturally responsive practice means in day-to-day work.
Key takeaway
Culturally responsive practice means you ask instead of assume. You gather each family's values, language, and routines and choose goals with them. Then you pick interventions that work and that the people carrying them out find acceptable. The best answer is usually the one where you collaborate and stay evidence-based. Imposing a standard package is wrong, and so is giving up effective treatment completely.
