About us
 This

Project, a Lesley
University Center for Special Education action research initiative developed in collaboration
with teachers from the Lowell Public Schools in Massachusetts and funded by the United States Department of Education, Washington D.C.

the difference between diverse linguistic/cultural influences
and learning (dis)abilities/ differences for English language learners
from the following languages and countries of origin: Kingdom
of Cambodia - Khmer; Brazil and Portugal (including the Azores
and Madeira) - Portuguese; and Puerto Rico - Spanish.
