Providing both a theoretical framework and practical strategies,
this resource will help teachers, counselors, and related service
providers develop understanding and empathy to improve outcomes for
culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students with
disabilities. The text features narrative portraits of six
immigrant families and their children with disabilities, including
their cultural histories and personal perspectives regarding
assessment, diagnosis, Individualized Education Program (IEP)
meetings, and other instances in which families engaged with the
special education process. Using guiding questions for reflection
and "Talk Back" comments from preservice students throughout the
text, readers are encouraged to reflect on their own positionality
and to develop nuanced and dynamic understandings of CLD children,
youth, and families-countering persistent and stereotypical deficit
views. Book Features: In-depth descriptions of immigrant family
ecologies. Strategies for challenging a system that has been
implicated in the over-representation of minorities in special
education. Artwork, photographs, and other materials from students
and families. "Talk Back" sections featuring personal reflections
and feedback on the portrait narratives from preservice teachers.
Questions at the end of each portrait narrative chapter to
facilitate meaningful classroom discussions. A personal action plan
framework to guide improvements in cultural competence and
inclusive special education practices.
