Arab American Children with Disabilities

Despite a proliferation of special education literature on racial minorities over the past three decades, research and writing on Arab American children with disabilities remains remarkably sparse. This book fills that gap by promoting culturally appropriate services for Arab-American children with disabilities. By focusing on this marginalized minority population, Al Khatib provides much-needed context and direction for service providers and researchers working with the Arab-American community.
