We love this question! SKILLS-ATPE understands research has stated all behaviors are culturally embedded– everyone has a cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and racial identity, and no behavior is ever independent of social or environmental context. Our professional therapy staff will never assume their perspective and priority is the same as the families’ perspective. Furthermore, we understand that teaching styles, methods and curriculum materials are culturally embedded. Our teaching methods will be tailored to each client through changing, bending and revising to meet the progress and needs of each individual client. For example, research states that verbal language is more important to Anglo-European cultures, whereas self-care is more important to Hispanic and African cultures. Another example is eye contact is an insult in some cultures whereas it is valued and important in others. We will teach each child/individual not just based on their need, but also on how their culture influences what their full potential looks like.
