Core Curricula Content on Cultural Competence for UCEDDs: Organizational Level

The Embedding Matrix series is designed to establish a national standard for curricula and training activities on cultural diversity and cultural and linguistic competence for the network of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs). This matrix offers cultural competence frameworks, definitions, and areas of knowledge and skills for the UCEDD core function of interdisciplinary pre-service training and continuing education. It addresses cultural competence at the organizational level. The Embedding Matrix series also provides individual behavioral or organizational change theories to facilitate systemic change in training and professional development activities for this core function.
