In this episode, we talk with bilingual specialist Gloria Sevilla about how we can better support multilingual learners with disabilities. Gloria shares how her own journey informs her work, and we discuss practical ways to bridge bilingual and special education using tools like UDL, translanguaging, and bilingual resources that give students more voice and choice.
