Abstract: Executive Order 13166 requires, among other things, that each federal department and agency examine the services it provides to limited English proficient (LEP) persons and develop and implement a system by which LEP persons have meaningful access to those services without unduly burdening the fundamental mission of the agency. Yet, meaningful access is not just a one-size fits all. An important component to understanding how meaningful access can be implemented is dependent on the characteristics of the LEP population and should be seen as a first step to begin this process. This paper will focus on the immigrant adult (18+) population with respect to their potential need for language services for meaningful access and their characteristics.
