Guideline: American Indian students are sometimes misidentified as special education students and are over-represented in special education programs. This misidentification can result from a variety of factors, including not speaking Standard English, having hearing losses (especially from otitis-media), or coming from homes that lacked intellectual stimulation, such as being read to as preschoolers. Educators need to be aware of such circumstances that could impact a native student's performance in school.
