Twenty-nine helping professionals attended a one-day Native American Cultural Competency Conference. Utilizing a qualitative panel study design, a pre- and post-survey was distributed to conference participants to understand (1) participants’ self-perceived barriers in serving Native American children with disabilities, (2) how to better serve the Native American community, and (3) changes in previously perceived barriers.”
