  • When a Culturally and Linguistically diverse student struggles in school, how can you tell whether language or cultural differences are the cause, or if the student has a learning or behavioral disability? (colorincolorado.org)
  • This disability often is not superficially evident, indeed some children may appear normal in conversational language since they can "talk a blue streak. (oafccd.com)
  • The devastating evidence of their disability, however, becomes apparent in inability to adapt to and learn in the classroom where they must listen, read, speak and write and in failed social interactions so critically dependent on language skills. (oafccd.com)
