This neglect leads to the marginalization and silencing of individuals who have historically been excluded and underrepresented. To address this issue, this book offers a valuable contribution by centering the voices of parents and caregivers who navigate the often complex process of Special Education services for their children. \u003cbr\u003eIn recent years, there has been a scarcity of works that adequately provide a platform for families to take center stage in their narratives. However, this book collaborates with culturally and linguistically diverse families, incorporating the authors' personal reflections at the end of each narrative and posing guiding questions to facilitate continued conversation, whether pursued as an individual reader or in a group setting. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is designed to cater to pre- and in-service educators, administrators, and professors who are eager to enhance their understanding of parent perspectives and explore ways to create more inclusive and welcoming school environments for culturally and linguistically diverse families. Additionally, this book can serve as a valuable supplement in courses focused on multicultural education, family and community partnerships, or IEP regulations and compliance. \u003cbr\u003eThe authors' primary objective is to showcase the potential that arises when diverse family histories are incorporated into decision-making processes. Recognizing the immense cultural wealth that our families and students bring to classrooms on a daily basis, this book represents just a glimpse of the journey towards building culturally sustainable practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 499g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 x 159 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538180358\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kristin Vogel-Campbell","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45290251649274,"sku":"9781538180358","price":50.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1705081602252_book.jpg?v=1705144106","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/partnering-with-culturally-and-linguistically-diverse-families-in-special-education-9781538180358","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
