Non-English Speaking Parents
Kathy Sheehy, a speech pathologist in kindergarten through fifth grade at Del Prado Elementary School in Boca Raton, Florida
To communicate with parents who don't speak English and are not literate in their language, I ask our school's ESOL Facilitator for that particular language to record my message on a cassette to send home. The parent can listen, then record a response, call the school and speak to me (with the facilitator interpreting), or ask an English speaking/writing relative or friend to write a note.
