A lack of attention to cultural, ethnic, gender, and linguistic differences can lead to an inaccurate identification of students for special services. This can result in students not receiving the appropriate services they need, or receiving services that are not tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, it can lead to a lack of understanding of the unique needs of certain students, and can lead to a lack of trust between students and educators. This can create an environment where students feel unsupported and misunderstood, which can lead to further issues in the classroom.
