Abstract

Culture permeates all school psychology theory, research, training, and practice areas and is integral to culturally responsive psychological service delivery. This introduction to the special issue overviews culture and conceptualizes how culture is defined and evolved in psychology. The authors discuss frameworks and recommendations for cultural adaptations to evidence-based interventions and some limitations to culturally adapting evidence-based interventions. The collection of manuscripts in this special issue aims to advance the scholarship regarding intentional cultural adaptations to evidence-based interventions to promote equitable student outcomes.
