Geenen, Sarah; Powers, Laurie E.; Lopez-Vasquez, Alfonso
Exceptional Children, v67 n2 p265-82 Win 2001
A survey of 308 African-American, Hispanic-American, Native-American, and European-American parents found that culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) parents are active in transition planning activities and, in some instances, their level of reported participation surpassed that of European-American parents. In contrast, 52 professionals described CLD parents as less involved. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
