Lakesha, your draft can be improved much more if you can consider the following suggestions. First, you provided almost all disciplines as the relevant disciplines of your problem which could be true that all of these disciplines are related to your problem. However, in order to successfully complete your project, I suggest you that you choose two disciplines that most relevant to your problem. I feel like education psychology and behavior/learning disabilities can go well together so you could choose these two disciplines and further develop how these are relevant in your final draft. Also, please provide some insights from your site visit. Where did you visit and who did you have an interview with? You can add some information about the site and what you observed from the site. 

Why did I choose child growth and development? A child growth and development flourish by the influence of his or her culture. Culture can simply means one environment. Therefore, cultural and linguistic diversity have increased creating challenges in today’s schools. Learning disabilities occur in all cultures and ethnic groups and it is often difficult to tell if a child’s academic struggles are due to a learning disability or a cultural or language difference (Ortiz, 1997; Taylor, Yzquierdo, Lopez-Reyna, & Flippin, 2004). The U.S Department of Education, 2001, has emphasized the  increase in  low income families has among the Hispanics, African American, and American native   population.

To further expound on the issue on learning disabilities increase in low income areas, researchers have already established the connection between poverty and education, demonstrating that there is a correlation between poverty and delayed language development, lower literacy rates, poor math skills, and higher rates of emotional and behavioral disabilities (Manning & Gaudelli, 2006).  The lack of support in these areas can impact a child's growth in learning such as the where the children actually learn.  In Savage Inequalities: Children in America’s Schools, Kozol (1991) described the inferior physical facilities in which poor students are educated. He gives an in depth overview of  how life is in urban schools. Kozol includes boarded up windows, faulty heating and cooling systems, toilets that do not work, crowded rooms, peeling paint, and kitchens and cafeterias tainted with backed up sewage. He continues to speak passionately about the ongoing crisis in low income schools, making further makes it more difficult to diagnosis a childs learning disability.

Hi Lakesha, thanks for your response. It looks like your draft is still in the middle of working so I hope following comments are helpful to wrap up your final draft!  First, don’t forget to have at least 500 words for your response and additional 150 words or 1 min 30 sec of audio for your reflection. When you work on your final draft, I would like to see your understanding of how an interdisciplinary approach has enlarged your understanding of the problem as a whole and how this approach is applicable beyond the classroom. Also, I feel you can go further about how this interdisciplinary approach has influenced your perception of disciplinary expertise.  You have explained well about how this approach challenged your bias on the problem, good job!  Also, don’t forget to proofread your final draft to avoid any possible mechanical errors!
