David (Case 1.2) consulted his university internship supervisor and his on-site supervisor about the special education director’s request. They discussed David’s self-assessment of his Korean language competence and his lack of prior supervised experience conducting a bilingual assessment. As a result, David met with the special educator director and offered to review Seo-yeon’s school records from Korea and conduct a screening of Seo-yeon to determine whether a full evaluation was needed. He respectfully explained why he was not qualified to conduct a comprehensive bilingual assessment of Seo-yeon if a disability is suspected. He also offered to attend school-parent meetings with Seo-yeon’s parents, noting that he would be able to help establish culturally sensitive “jeong” (rapport) with family members. In addition, David recommended that a trained interpreter attend the meetings with the parents because he was not proficient enough in Korean to explain the specialized terms used in meetings with parents of students who are struggling academically.
