The changing racial and ethnic demographics in the United States school-age population is a defining phenomenon of its educational system. Classrooms across the country are a microcosm of the expanding cultural diversity in society. This growing demographic of students of color extends to students in low-incidence disability groups: deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), blind or visually impaired (BVI), or deafblind (DB) children. A greater understanding of and responsiveness to the increasing cultural and linguistic diversity among DHH, BVI, and DB students is critical for the educators who serve them. To that end, this introductory article on culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP) with DHH, BVI, and DB students from culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) backgrounds (a) reviews the need for CSP, including how racial, disability, and other marginalizing identities intersect and impact the educational experiences and outcomes of these students, and (b) describes three ways educators can practice CSP in their work with these students and their families: critical self-reflection, personalized literacy, and collaborative partnerships with CLD families. Vignettes adapted from the authors' experiences as teachers and researchers illustrate instructional strategies exemplifying core CSP tenets and practices.
