This book was written to address the need of educators to acquire a greater understanding of the interaction among cultural diversity, language differences and disability needs from a combined perspective. The overall purposes of this book are to: 1) assist educators to provide effective education to culturally and linguistically diverse learners at-risk within multi-level and response to intervention models; 2) avoid misinterpreting learning and cultural differences as learning or behavior disabilities through effective assessment and evidence-based interventions; and 3) develop skills for effective collaboration among special and general educators to meet the needs of diverse learners in multi-tiered settings. Written for K-12 teachers of diverse students.
