The study situates the learner within a shifting U.S. and Canada population of d/Deaf and hard of hearing students whose homes use non-English languages. Findings inform recommendations for improving education of d/Dhh multilingual learners by addressing placements, early communication and language needs, instructional techniques and assessment, L1–L2

SCOTT IS AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF DEAF EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOL OF URBAN EDUCATION. | OR DECADES , research has focused on American Sign Language/English bilingual education for d/Deaf and hard of hearing students whose families used English or ASL. However, a growing population of d/Dhh children come from households where languages other than English (e.g. , Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese) are used. In a longitudinal case study, the authors document the K–12 educational pathway of a deaf Latina student. Anecdotal records, semistructured interviews, assessment data, and document reviews of the participant’s school and clinical records are used to develop the case study. The findings provide the basis for recommendations for future research and for critical factors to consider to improve the education of d/Dhh Multilingual Learners (DMLs) . These include ensuring appropriate educational placements, addressing early communication and language needs, determining effective instructional techniques and assessments, strengthening the L 1 to support L2 learning, and providing students with opportunities to learn their heritage language. |  |\n|  | Keywords: American Sign Language (ASL) , bilingual, culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) , deaf, d/Dhh Multilingual Learner (DML) , Deafness and Diversity (DAD) , demographics, disability, diverse, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) , English Language Learner (ELL) , hard of hearing, hearing loss, Latinos, Mexican Americans, multicultural\u003Cbr>The population of d/Deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) students educated in schools in the United States and Canada is rapidly changing; specifically, it is becoming more diverse as a result | of medical and technological advances (Knoors & Marschark, 2012) and shifting demographic and immigration patterns (Gallaudet Research Institute, 2013) . Schools consequently must respond to the changing needs of students. The present article focuses on a specific population of d/Dhh students from non–English-speaking homes who are multilingual learners and represent diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. These d/Dhh Multilingual Learners (DMLs) typically are students who were born in countries where English is not the primary language (Cannon & Guardino, 2012) and |\n\n43  \nF  \nVOLUME 161, NO. 1, 2016 AMERICAN ANNALS OF THE DEAF  \nSOCIOCULTURAL AND ACADEMIC CONSIDERATIONS  \n\n| immigrated with their families to the United States or Canada; they attended schools in which English and/orAmerican Sign Language (ASL) were the primary languages of instruction. Extant research on students who are DMLs is extremely sparse. To better understand the educational experiences of the DML population and to form a foundation for future research, we compiled a case study of a DML who had recently graduated from high school. The case study provides a rich description of one Latina student’s experience in an urban public school program for d/Dhh students, focusing on the educational and sociocultural factors that had an impact on her learning trajectory.\u003Cbr>Literature Review Historical Context of Immigration\u003Cbr>Numerous state and federal agencies, think tanks, and policy centers study and report on the shifting demographics of the United States, which affect the economy, schools, health care, and the labor force (e.g., the Pew Hispanic Center, the Brookings Institution) .
