We at Latino Education Advancement Fund know that there are social and economic disparities affecting first generation Latino community. Some examples are: (a) limited understanding of how to deal with immigration status/DACA issues, (b) linguistic and educational barriers for adult-aged Latinos, (c) isolation within school culture of ESOL populations, (d) community racial conflicts, and (e) less familiarity with the school choice process.

We understand the critical importance of accurate translations. Here's a story that underscores why: In California, monthslong waits and faulty translations of special education documents are widespread, violating parents’ rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These issues can severely impact a child's education, as seen in numerous cases where incorrect translations led to missed services and miscommunication about educational plans. Our mission at Translate Solutions is to ensure that every parent, regardless of their language, can fully participate in their child's education. We provide precise, culturally sensitive translations to bridge communication gaps and support educational success. 📞 (512) 818-3141 🌎 YourTranslateSolutions.com * * * #AccurateTranslations #InclusiveEducation #TranslateSolutions #SpecialEducation #LanguageMatters 🔗 Learn more about how we can help bridge communication gaps in your school district!

"In a national survey of Latino families (N = 750) with young children conducted during the fall of 2023 in collaboration with BSP Research, 38% of Latino families whose children receive speech therapy reported being told by the therapist to stop or reduce speaking Spanish to their child. This brief offers an approach to support Latino parents and families and programs that work with them to understand the evidence on early bilingual development and prepare them to advocate for their children effectively and confidently." https://lnkd.in/dVBs4MsY

My first book <French kids naturally grown> is published. This book is about French parenting and education written by a Korean mom who raised a child in France for about seven years. I observed French child care and education from the objective and unfamiliar perspective of a stranger, and compared the parenting values and education systems between Korea and France. The important thing is that children already have potential, so you just have to trust them, observe them, and help them when they need it.
