Keys to Access: Encouraging the Use of Mediation by Families of Diverse Backgrounds

CADRE, a federally funded project supporting the use of alternative dispute resolution in special education, has developed a guide for mediation programs hoping to increase the use of their services by diverse populations. The information is presented in a concise, "quick read" format. In addition to providing an overview of mediation and a list of policy and system design recommendations, the guide offers a nice annotated collection of references to articles and books exploring the overlap of culture and conflict resolution. The complete guide, prepared by Anita Engiles, Cathy Fromme, Diane LeResche and Philip Moses, is available online at http://www.directionservice.org/cadre/articles/keys.htm
