摘要
There is a clear need to improve the delivery of services to Asian families and their children with disabilities. This paper describes some of the key points where communication and access may break down. It offers principles to guide assessments of children, and makes recommendations on ways of working with interpreters, monitoring uptake of services and strategies for supporting and informing Asian families.
