  In Roundtable Session: Critical Intersections: Examining Race, Class, and Disability in Educational Discourse (Table 10)

Abstract

This presentation examines how Latine disabled youth and their families navigate language and communication in the context of bilingual environments and identities. Latine disabled youth engage in a range of multimodal, multilingual forms of languaging. We examine how bilingual, disabled Latine youth and their families disrupt an idealized white, monolingual spoken English norm. Utilizing data from two qualitative studies, we center narratives of Latine families raising disabled youth in bilingual environments in two regions of the US. We read these experiences through a lens of LatDisCrit Dual Socialization to shed light on linguistic ideologies at the intersections of Latine identity, disability, and language.
