What role does culture have when working, teaching and serving ELs with disabilities?
Schools that do not take into account the linguistic, cultural, and other background characteristics of English learners and simply adapt services that have been designed for English speakers “cannot provide effective special education services” for English learners (Baca, 2002). In classes where English Learners with special needs are successful, teachers draw heavily on student’s prior knowledge, linking what students already know to what they need to learn.
