Bilingual students with disabilities have an established right to
be educated in their most proficient language. However, in
practice, many culturally and linguistically diverse students still
do not receive the quality of education that they are promised and
deserve. Multilingual learners with disabilities must be
acknowledged for the assets they bring and engaged in classroom
learning that is rigorous and relevant. Bilingual Special Education
for the 21st Century: A New Interface addresses the complex
intersection of bilingual education and special education with the
overlay of culturally and linguistically sustaining practices. This
work provides practical solutions to current dilemmas and
challenges today's educators of multilingual learners with
disabilities face in the classroom. Covering topics such as dual
language education, identification practices, and transition
planning, this book is an essential resource for special education
experts, faculty and administration of both K-12 and higher
education, pre-service teachers, researchers, and academicians.
