Achieving Cultural and Linguistic Competence in Information Dissemination Activities

(Published October 2013) | Useful to Parent Centers when developing and disseminating materials

When creating a new publication or posting information, there are several aspects to keep in mind during the development phase to ensure the publication fully takes into consideration cultural and linguistic differences and representations, regardless of the methods by which that publication or piece of information is being produced and disseminated.

The guidelines, developed by the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) in 2013, are not intended to be either requirements or a checklist that guarantees a product or piece of information is appropriate to all audiences. Rather, AUCD hopes that this document will serve as a point of reference and stimulate careful consideration for anyone writing or producing information for any audience.
