CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE EVALUATIONS
LBL serves 12 school districts, providing special education evaluations.
Our Center conducts Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Evaluations.
Who is a CLD student? Students who have a language other than English in their background. The student may be:
Born in or outside the U.S. Raised in an environment where a language other than English is
dominant
PRE-REFERRAL
Referring ELs to special education can be tricky!
Sometimes a language difference can look like a disability, which can lead to over-referral.
Sometimes it is assumed that a student's difficulty is due to language acquisition and he or she is not referred soon enough.
PRE-REFERRAL
When an English Learner doesn't respond to Tier 2/ Yellow Zone/ Double Dose interventions 1. Complete a comprehensive academic "file" review and gather background information
Academic review should be a team effort that includes the referring teacher and ELD teacher
Background information gathering should involve the parents
2. Individualize the student's intervention 3. Document the intervention and monitor progress 4. Use data-based decision making to determine next steps
