Language Difference Or Disability?

We'd like to share our upcoming workshops based on the unique needs of English Language Learners who have also been identified with a disability:

Language Difference or Disability? The Work of the Multidisciplinary Team

Participants will review the stages and patterns of second language acquisition, the impact of a disability on language acquisition, considerations for distinguishing a language difference or learning disability, decision-making with Response to Intervention, and planning instruction that aligns with the students Individualized Education Program (IEP).
9-12:00 pm
Fee: Free
You can register for this workshop in MLP here.

The Role of the Language Proficiency Team

Participants will review the role of the Language Proficiency Team and develop a plan for how their school/district will identify a language acquisition need when a student has a disability. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to identify the steps to ELL identification of a student with a disability, the role of each of the team members and determine what key documents need to be reviewed.
