Beyond Our Borders: Spanish-Dominant Migrant Parents and the IEP Process

Numerous issues and challenges are associated with quality service provision for Hispanic students. A longstanding challenge for many special education personnel is how to appropriately involve Spanish-dominant migrant parents in the entire Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process.
