Abstract
This round table will focus on discussion of multi-disciplinary cases. It will help participants learn to identify and to manage cultural issues as they relate to rehabilitation. Cases will highlight culturally relevant factors that practitioners need to consider when developing and providing effective rehabilitation services for people born in other countries. Communication, goals of treatment, patient compliance, as well as intergenerational and other family issues will be included.
