" I have also found that many of my pre-or low level literate Spanish
speaking Mexican/Central American high school/adult aged students have
one of two things going against them - They either have vision issues
[...] or have learning issues or disabilities that haven't been
diagnosed or addressed."

 

I'm curious as to how your program was able to ascertain that students
were vision impaired or learning disabled.  In my program we have been
looking for tools that might assist our Office for Students with
Disabilities staff in identifying learning disabilities in non-English
speakers, but have yet to find any. Thus, we must rely on an outside
professional diagnostic, and there aren't that many around that can do
it either.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. 

 

Sincerely,
