Abstract
Public Law 99-457 has promoted family/professional collaboration and family-guided practices in early childhood special education. At the same time, the cultural and linguistic diversity of this country requires service providers to refine skills in working with families whose backgrounds are different from their own. This article describes the model, strategies, materials, and outcomes of Project CRAFT (Culturally Responsive and Family-focused Training), which is designed to meet these professional development needs. Culturally diverse family/ professional teams were trained, supported, and mentored to provide inservice training on cultural competencies to service providers working with young children with disabilities.
