Resource Bank

The Georgetown University National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) has identified numerous resources on cultural and linguistic competence, diversity, equity, and inclusion focusing on intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Each resource has been carefully selected, reviewed, and annotated by the NCCC staff to support the project goal ─ to advance policies and practices of cultural and linguistic competence, diversity, equity, and inclusion in all components of the IDD system of New York State.

Stay updated on new additions to the Resource Bank by regularly checking the NCCC-OPWDD Partnership website or by registering to join our email list. For any questions about the Resource Bank, please email OPWDD-NCCCpartnership@georgetown.edu.
