What you’ll be able to do Adapt communication and participation while preserving individual variation and choice.

Music Not one playlist. Son, salsa, rumba, timba, trova — origin names the sound. A Mexican default playlist in a Cuban waiting room is the mash in speakers.
Variation A festival stage is not engagement. A playlist is not language access. A rumba or a liturgy is not staff entertainment.
Knowing that music is public life will not write the waiver. It will stop you from treating one Heritage Month speaker as the community.
Put music to work What you can change You control whether music is treated as a question to explore or a label placed on someone.
What to watch for A festival stage is not engagement. A playlist is not language access. A rumba is not staff entertainment.

CLAS is qualified language, not Google and not a child.
