This book attempts a comprehensive analysis of the provision of language services to individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) in the United States, focusing on the development of language services in healthcare and social services since the passage of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Starting from the 1960s, the author examines the evolution of the issue of language access as a civil rights concern, with a particular focus on the role of the Office for Civil Rights and how their actions, along with the work of various advocacy organizations and state regulations, have influenced the development of language services. The book also explores the models of language services commonly used by healthcare providers and social service agencies, discussing the relative strengths and weaknesses of each model and how a given model's effectiveness is contingent on several factors. Ultimately, the author concludes that while some progress in ensuring language access has been made, there is still much work to be done to create truly equitable access to services for Limited English Proficient individuals.
