Abstract

Additionally, this chapter highlights examples of integrated preparation approaches that allow interdisciplinary professionals to learn about each other's discipline to advance their knowledge and skills to meet the needs of young children with disabilities from multicultural communities. These practices include: (a) virtual learning communities; (b) professional development micro credentials awarded by digital badges; (c) subject matter expert panels; and (d) combined field experiences.
