dc.descriptionThank you to Jeanne Sept, Dean of Faculties,and Dean Geraldo Gonzalez and Sarah Baumgart at the School of Education, Indiana University.
dc.description.abstractResearch shows there is a disproportional number of limited English proficient (LEP) students in special education. This misrepresentation is due to the inability of general educators to confidently identify students with LEP. Special education legislation has attempted to clarify the identification procedures for special education placement with limited success. The consensus in the field is that the process of making a decision about special education is more complex when the student at hand is limited in English proficiency. This article discusses the issues surrounding the process and provides guidelines for teachers as they make the difficult decision of referral for special education evaluation.
