Dually Identified Technical Assistance Guide

The Dually Identified Technical Assistance Guide is for Texas educators to support holistic and effective programming for students who are dually identified as an emergent bilingual student and a student receiving special education services. Dually identified students require instructional services that reflect language proficiency levels, considerations for second language acquisition, and disability related services. 

This guide provides assistance with identification and evaluation of dually identified students; educator collaboration to ensure each student has an integrated service plan that supports all of their academic, linguistic, and functional needs; and effective methods of collaboration with families including cultural considerations about language and disability.
