Find out what each community needs by asking them. For example, housing is limited in North Dakota. Accept cultural ceremonies and traditions, and integrate them with other disability services. Need to direct more money to communities so people can do it themselves. Need to educate cultural leaders so people can get services in their communities and live with their families.
Language is the major barrier.
We need to learn how to communicate with people and tell them about the services that are available. We need to use accessible language, provide translators and train people who speak the language. Family has a big role in the lives of many culturally diverse people with disabilities, and they should be respected. We need to make sure that representatives of various groups have a voice rather than assuming that we know what other people think and do. Hold meetings in the community where people live.
