Hispanic/Latino students are the largest minority school-age population (Pew
Hispanic Center, 2005). In this study, pupil services administrators in Florida
identified concerns about Hispanic/Latino children and families and the need for
bilingual school counselors for growing numbers of Hispanic/Latino students.
Administrators' perceptions of cultural barriers, which isolate students from
the school environment, were strongly related to their perceived need for
Spanish-speaking school counselors. School programs more often provided for
Hispanic/Latino students were those that specifically addressed language
barriers rather than counseling services that specifically addressed cultural
barriers of Hispanic/Latino students.
