Abstract:

Over the past decade, many persons who are limited-English-proficient(LEP) have moved to North Carolina. Moore discusses the legal basis for requiring health and social service agencies to provide language assistance in dealing with LEP clients. Next, she discusses how the Office of Civil Rights will enforce this and closes with a model plan for compliance.
