This webinar guides participants in distinguishing between language difference and disability in English learners. Delays in communication and socio-emotional development can occur among non-native English speaking students who are acquiring the English language as well as in ELs with disabilities.

In this month’s webinar, participants will learn:

• Key questions to ask when distinguishing between language difference and a disability
• Types of developmentally appropriate behaviors that are attributed to language acquisition, yet commonly attributed to a disability
• Strategies to support ELs before initiating a special education referral
