National Association of Educational Translators and Interpreters of Spoken Languages

Multilingual Family Resources

Thanks to a grant from the Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council, we are expanding our multilingual resources for linguistically diverse families. New materials are being added regularly, including glossaries, informational briefs on special education topics, and more. Check out our latest tools to support family–interpreter communication and share them with your communities.
