Reflecting on a Daughter's Bilingualism and disAbility Narratively
Kim, Hyun Uk
International Journal of Whole Schooling, v13 n2 p21-34 2017
This paper explores societal perceptions of a child's disability and bilingualism through the author's observations and reflections. Drawing from the observations of the child in different public schools in the United States, the author shares how the child has been viewed differently and similarly by school personnel. By reflecting on different perceptions of the bilingual child with a disability label, the author promotes least restrictive attitudes toward "all" in schools and society.
