Assessing Linguistic Minority Students

Post by JDRRowan » Mon Feb 07, 2011 9:17 pm

According to Garcia (2005), only 12 states have mandates for special education services for linguistic minority students. Does anyone know of an assessment that could be administered to pre-kindergarten students? Why is it that many states do nor have any mandates for special education services when research shows that early intervention is critical?
