Beschreibung

This book addresses the general and special education needs of emergent bilingual students from intervention that supports their academic and social-emotional needs to assessment for special education services. It provides contextual information about emergent bilingual students opportunities for academic success and language development.

It also discusses opportunities for collaboration with families, speech-language pathologists, and interpreters during the assessment and intervention processes.

In 2023, she was awarded a Spencer Foundation grant ($49,828) to examine school psychologists’ assessment practices with bilingual students within the context of Arizona’s restrictive English-only legislation. Dr. Vega is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Excellence in Graduate Teaching and Mentoring Award from the Graduate College (2021), the New Leader Award from the College of Education and Human Ecology Alumni Office, The Ohio State University (2023), the Presidential Award for Exceptional Service to Children and School Psychology from the National Association of School Psychologists (2023), the APA Division 16 Outstanding Contributions to Mentorship Award (2025), and the Mentoring Future Scholars Award (2025).   Jaclyn N.
