3.5.3 – English Learner

2. Is your student’s primary language a language other than English  

  • Yes 
  • No 

This indicator refers to students who may be English Language Learners – meaning their families speak a language other than English.  These may be students who also don’t use oral speech but this refers to the language they hear at home regardless of whether they “speak” the language or not.  It is important to the development of communication to understand whether or not the student may be exposed to English language users.  

This information can be gathered through communication with parents, present levels of communication or from evaluation reports.
