Detailed explanation-1: -Finally, ELLs are often misidentified as needing special education services because their teachers are not adequately trained on disability identification for culturally and linguistically diverse students. ELLs can be mislabeled as having a learning disability if they are underachieving in the classroom.
Detailed explanation-2: -National estimates reveal that English-language learners may be over-represented in the learning disabilities category due to the fact that neither a method for accurate identification nor a consistent definition of learning disabilities across states exists.
Detailed explanation-3: -Due to their inability to communicate what they already know, ELLs are often perceived as less educated than they really are. This can lead to them being placed in lower-level classrooms even though they’ve previously mastered the material being taught.
