2025 Summer Inclusion Leadership Conference

This presentation calls educators to use the Collaboration Framework and High-Leverage Practices (HLP) to prepare teachers, service providers, and school leaders to collaborate with diverse families of children with disabilities. By using Culturally Inclusive Pedagogies and Practices (CIPP), educators can foster a sense of belonging for Multilingual Learners (MLs) and their families. Appropriate programming is crucial, as MLs do not necessarily have a language disorder. Understanding language development lays the groundwork for differentiating between a language difference and a language disorder. Resources for multilingual learners, families, and educational teams will be provided.
