Identifying a Language Difference

Versus Disorder in EL Students 

This workshop will provide guidance on how to assess and analyze the learning environment for English learners who may be struggling in school.

Participants will:

• Identify red flags for language disorders in the EL population
• Complete a guided reflection based on an EL student from your school/district
• Receive a “toolkit” to support documenting concerns prior to referral
• Increase collaboration between special education staff and EL staff during the evaluation process

Audience:  Recommended for teams of at least one ESL teacher and one Special Education teacher per school/district.

Presenter:  Courtney Seidel, MS, CCC-SLP - Associate Clinic Professor at the University of WI-Madison in the Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders
