Lewis, Judy; And Others

Topics in Language Disorders, v9 n3 p21-37 Jun 1989

A case study of a hearing-impaired 7-year-old Hmong boy illustrates the complex process involved in identifying a limited English speaking child's learning, speech, language, and hearing disabilities. The process requires uncovering past experiences and evaluating environmental and cultural factors. The history and culture of the Hmong people are discussed. (JDD)
