The report provides background information on the educational needs of disabled South East Asian students and presents four papers from a meeting and workshop on the topic held respectively in March and June of 1985. A draft of an action plan advocated by meeting participants addresses ways to meet five major needs: (1) to obtain information on the number of South East Asian students needing special education services; (2) to assess limited English proficient students in their dominant language; (3) to identify, evaluate and educate students in linguistically appropriate ways; (4) to instruct students in linguistically and culturally appropriate ways; and (5) to advocate for students' and parents' needs at the local, state, and national level. Following the draft plan, three discussion papers from the workshop are presented. Te Dihn Huyhh begins with an examination of "Special Education for Vietnamese Students: Current Situation, Problems, and Issues." In "Indochinese Cross-Cultural Adjustment and Communication," Nguyen Dang Leim reviews the effects of the Indochinese people's traditions and psycho-religious forces on their ways of life and adjustment. Recommendations are offered to help Americans understand and deal with the cultural implications and an overview of customs and values in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam is appended. Next, Tron Huong Mai describes "Approaches for Identifying and Servicing Indochinese Handicapped Students," as instituted by the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools. In a final paper, entitled "Evaluation-Assessment-Educational Planning for Indochinese Refugee Children in the School System," and delivered at the meeting preceding the workshop, Tam Dang Wei details steps in information gathering, evaluation, and placement.
