“…These students appear to face more challenges than typical CLD peers or peers with IDs who are not CLD related to access to general education curriculum, access to services to address their unique needs, and partnerships with families (Mueller, Millian, & Lopez, 2009;Mueller, Singer, & Carranza, 2006;Rivera et al, 2016). Rivera et al (2016) identified a framework for aligning existing evidence-based practices for teaching CLD-typical students with the unique needs of CLD second language learners with IDs. This model builds upon previous approaches that emphasize a safe learning environment, primary language support, and the use of systematic instruction (Sanford, Brown, & Turner, 2012;Sobul, 1995) but places additional emphasis on UDL, the integration of culture, multiple opportunities to respond, technology, and self-determination (Rivera et al, 2016).…”
