We are having trouble identifying ELL students who have a disability. How can you tell if a student has a reading problem or a difficulty due to language learning?

Honestly, this is an uphill battle. It is VERY difficult to get an ESL student qualified/classified for a disability due to the language factor. I suggest keeping notes and work samples on the student and document as much as you can to justify it. It will probably take a couple rounds/years to get them identified and the parents have to agree to it. I also think they can be tested in Spanish.

A big factor is going to be how much English they had coming in, how much EL they get and if they are/are not progressing on the EL tests. We do have to test students in whatever area their dominant language is evaluated to be for speech/language and psychological/educational testing. It does a few years down here at the elementary level because we really have to do a bunch to rule out it’s not just a language barrier issue.

I observe the students in class sometimes or I ask them to read in their native language. Plus everything else previously mentioned is good advice.

Assess in home language or use non-verbal/non-language assessments to look noticeable disparities in performance. Collect data within an RtI or progress monitoring framework and note specific interventions and slow rate of progress.
