What Does It Mean to Have a Disability When Culturally and Linguistically Diverse?

Author:

Abstract

Statistics dating back several years in American culture show a rapid growth in the diversity of people throughout the country. Social issues, famine, changing climate conditions, and economics are driving an exodus from other countries, causing people from all over the world to seek a better life in the United States. While the potential for such a positive transition appears to be within their grasp, a vast majority of these families find their reach blocked due to certain domestic attitudes which can preempt their American dream. Their status can place them at an extreme disadvantage, economically and socially, which further exacerbates attainment of their personal goals and can profoundly affect the education of their children. The fact that 1 in 5 children have a disability is another hurdle.
