AAY (Access for Autistic Youth)
http://www.cultural.org/aay
Info: The Access for Autistic Youth Program serves
as a conduit for services, information, and technical support for all Autistic
Children and their families and caregivers regardless of their socio-economic
status, race, or cultural background. This web site serves as the critical first
step to different communities who have yet to fully understand or include Autism
within their common language. By facilitating communication between parents and
the communities they live and work in, the AAY program seeks to increase the
tools of parents and caregivers to deal with and treat their autistic child. A
special effort has been made to reach out to communities who are just beginning
to tackle the difficult challenges of Autism by providing a link to all the
information, resources and program and technical support available in a language
they can understand. It is part of a concerted effort to improve access for all
disabled children regardless of their language or economic background.
Information on the web site is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese,
Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Somali.

English-Hmong
Dictionary of Special Education
http://www.fape.org/newsline/hmong/hmong_sped_dictionary.html
Info: Written
translation or oral interpretion of special education materials into Hmong
language can be frustrating for everyone involved in the process. For many Hmong
families, it is difficult to understand special education terminology. Hmong
interpreters who work in schools are often asked to translate special education
materials, but they may not be familiar with the meaning of the terms or know
the best way to translate them. Many English terms have no counterpart in Hmong.
English-speaking special education staff may feel uncomfortable because they do
not know whether the interpretion is accurate or whether the families really
understand the information. For these reasons, the (Minnesota) Division of
Special Education worked with a group of Hmong experts to create a dictionary of
special education terminology. This dictionary is not intended for general use
and does not include general educational terms. Terms are translated according
to their meaning in special education.
