This is a matter of some scientific controversy, but U.S. public health experts believe that what's happening is largely an increase in diagnosis and awareness, not necessarily in the number of children with the condition. The idea that autism itself is on the rise is a talking point for the anti-vaccine movement. Trump has met with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who propounds, against all scientific evidence and mainstream medical opinion, that childhood vaccines cause autism.

A nine-year veteran, Medina is part of an overworked force of bilingual certified educators in the state — as more bilingual students file into Texas public school classrooms. Kellye Loving, her principal at Oak Park Elementary, has worked hard to recruit teachers qualified to educate about 85 English-language learners at the school, including traveling to the Rio Grande Valley to interview candidates and persuade them to move to the Corpus Christi area. ________________________________ Publications Working with English Language Learners in the Mainstream English Language Arts Classroom…<http://education.utsa.edu/coehdnews/2016_COEHDnews/> DR.
