The text features narrative portraits of six immigrant families and their children with disabilities, including their cultural histories and personal perspectives regarding assessment, diagnosis, Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, and other instances in which families engaged with the special education process. Using guiding questions for reflection and “Talk Back” comments from preservice students throughout the text, readers are encouraged to reflect on their own positionality and to develop nuanced and dynamic understandings of CLD children, youth, and families―countering persistent and stereotypical deficit views.\nBook Features: In-depth descriptions of immigrant family ecologies. Strategies for challenging a system that has been implicated in the overrepresentation of minorities in special education. Artwork, photographs, and other materials from students and families. “Talk Back” sections featuring personal reflections and feedback on the portrait narratives from preservice teachers. Questions to facilitate meaningful classroom discussions. A personal action plan framework to guide improvements in cultural competence and inclusive special education practices.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0807763292\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0807763292.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sauer, Janet Story|Rossetti, Zachary|Serpa, Maria de Lourdes B.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
