The CASAS Quicksearch CD and Instructional Materials Guide references a
number of published ESL materials that address this topic. They are under
competency 2.5.3 (Locate medical and health facilities in the community) and
competency 3.1.3 (Identify and utilize appropriate health care services and
facilities, including interacting with providers). Call me for these health
care access references at (201) 894-0202, or call CASAS to get the CD or
Guide at (800) 255-1036.

I am looking for existing materials or curricula on "how to access
health care in the U.S." that have been designed specifically for ESL
classes. If anyone knows of any ESL programs that regularly teach
health
care access skills, that would also be useful information.
Thanks!
