| Abstract | This monograph presents four chapters on cultural and linguistic diversity in special education from the perspectives of three ethnic groups--African Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and Mexican Americans, respectively. The first chapter is titled "Education Reform and Service Delivery to African-American Students," by Festus E. Obiakor and others. This chapter focuses on issues related to education reform as embodied in the General Education Initiative and service delivery to African-American students with disabilities. The second chapter is "Ecobehavioral Assessment: A New Methodology for Evaluating Instruction for Exceptional Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students" (Carmen Arreaga-Mayer and others). This chapter reviews the current bilingual special education efficacy literature, offers a prototype ecobehavioral approach, and reports on a pilot study with 36 elementary students (in 26 classrooms) utilizing this approach. The third chapter is "Assessment of Asian and Pacific Islander Students for Gifted Programs" (Li-Rong Lilly Cheng and others). This chapter briefly describes the relevant cultural and ethnic groups, examines academic performance of Asian and Pacific Islanders in San Diego (California) as it relates to referral of this population to gifted programs, and draws implications for practitioners in the form of recommended multidisciplinary practices. The fourth chapter, "Nonstandardized Instruments for the Assessment of Mexican-American Children for Gifted/Talented Programs" (Jaime H. Garcia), discusses assessment strategies that provide qualitative data for the identification of gifted Mexican-American students. These strategies are grouped into four categories: student production, informant data, language and cognitive style data, and data organization systems. (Each chapter contains extensive references.)
