6th Annual RACE & SPECIAL EDUCATION Panel
Special Education & the Multicultural Experience: How do culture and language shape the special education journey? Join our panelists for an insightful discussion on the unique intersection of race, language, and disability. This session will dive into the real-world barriers that multicultural and multilingual families face and highlight the essential supports available to help parents become powerful advocates for their children and themselves. We will examine how to bridge the gap between cultural identity and the educational supports children need to thrive.
Special Guests:
Dr. Ramón Robles-Fernández, SOMSD Supervisor of World Languages and Multilingual Learners, K-12
