Barrera, Isaura
Young Exceptional Children, v3 n4 p17-24 Fall 2000
This article describes six service features honoring diversity in early childhood special education (ECSE) programs as identified and piloted in the 3-year federally funded demonstration program, CROSSROADS. CROSSROADS provided technical assistance to ECSE programs with children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Examples include recognizing the pervasive influence of culture and cultural dynamics and increasing access between families and services. (Contains references.) (DB)
