WATCH NOW

What was covered

Dually identified students–those who are both dual language learners (DLLs) and students with disabilities–are a woefully understudied population in early and elementary education. It is crucial that these students be identified for early intervention and special education programs that value their home languages and cultures to help set them on a strong educational trajectory. DLL students may experience challenges being referred for services due to the difficulty of discerning whether their academic difficulties stem from language proficiency or the presence of disabilities.

On Wednesday, June 12, please join the Early & Elementary Education program at New America for a webinar focused on the unique challenges young dually identified students and their families face. The first panel will examine the latest research and best practices on supporting dually identified students and provide a better sense of who and where these students are; a second panel will feature parents and family members of dually identified students to share their personal stories and ideas for improved policy support.
