Reviews
“. . .[an] invaluable resource . . .” - Prof. Bonnie Chauncey, Northeastern Illinois University
“This compassionate view of an often neglected student population should be required reading for all school personnel, families, and interested social advocates.” - Prof. Nan J. Giblin, Northeastern Illinois University
“[This work] points out the disproportionate identification of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds as having special needs and supports these findings with research-based verification. . . . Within the context of identification, the responsibilities of the hierarchy of public education in this identification process are addressed including the existing barriers to fair and effective identification at local, state, regional, and federal levels of public education.” - Prof. Phyllis L. LeDosquet, Northeastern Illinois University
