Culturally and linguistically diverse students who qualify for special education services are a unique subset of learners who require instruction that accommodates both diversity and disability. This course will provide an overview of special education history and laws, educational policies related to historically underrepresented populations, overrepresentation of culturally diverse students in special education programs, culturally competent assessment and instruction, and the pedagogy of educating emergent bilinguals receiving special education services. This course will also provide students an opportunity to explore their own implicit/explicit bias, while learning about ablism and societal discrimination of individuals with disabilities
