Clarity for Your Team: Language Acquisition vs. Learning Differences

When multilingual English learners struggle academically, it can be difficult to know whether it’s due to typical language development or a possible learning difference. Heartland AEA offers a structured, evidence-based coaching cycle to help your team make this important distinction.

Our EL/Diversity Consultant works alongside educators to:

• Analyze student data to understand academic and language progress
• Differentiate between language acquisition and potential learning disabilities
• Review interventions to determine effectiveness and next steps

With guided support and clear data analysis, your team can make confident, informed decisions about student needs.
