This webinar will focus on the PASRR person-centered expectations for adaptation to culture, language, ethnic origin, and communication preferences, using the federal standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) as a guide.

This webinar will provide:
• A review of the PASRR regulatory expectations for person-centered approaches and cultural considerations;
• The description of culture and cultural norms and how they affect our values, priorities, and way of life;
• Definitions of cultural and linguistic competence and a Cultural and Linguistic Competency Framework (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Minority Health – Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards); and
• Application of cultural and linguistic competency standards to PASRR.
Following the presentation, webinar participants will have the opportunity to ask questions.
