Description & Coverage
Description:

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.

Reviews & Statements

“…[the] gap in research and practice [is what] Gliset Colón and Tamara Alsace address in their edited book, Bilingual Special Education for the 21st Century: A New Interface. Along with their collaborators on this important work, they update the state of practice related to long-entrenched issues such as lack of appropriate assessment instruments and procedures, and lack of teacher expertise on how to work with [emergent bilinguals] EBs with disabilities. What distinguishes this text from other work is that the contributors provide information that has the potential to transform educational practice to ensure that EBs with disabilities receive appropriate, equitable learning opportunities.”

– Dr. Alba Ortiz, University of Texas at Austin
