Working with Children Experiencing Speech and Language Disorders in a Bilingual Context

A Home Language Approach
Series: Working With
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Sean Pert tackles the challenges speech and language therapists face when working with bilingual children. Emphasising a home language first approach, the book guides practitioners on distinguishing language diversity from disorder, collaborating with interpreters, conducting assessments, planning interventions, and setting therapy goals. Central to the approach is valuing the child's bilingualism, culture, and identity to improve communication outcomes as well as self-esteem, mental health, social inclusion, education, and employment prospects. A toolkit with quizzes and case studies supports both new and experienced professionals.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The complexity of speech and language disorders can be daunting in a monolingual context. When working with a bilingual child, assessment and intervention may appear to be even more complicated. In Working with Children Experiencing Speech and Language Disorders in a Bilingual Context, Sean Pert provides the reader with the tools needed to overcome this perception and develop skills in working in a language that they donโ€™t share with the client.

By adopting a home language first approach, the book discusses how to:

  • Identify diversity from disorder
  • Introduce effective approaches in line with the best clinical practice
  • Work successfully alongside interpreters
  • Make assessments and plan interventions
  • Set goals for therapy

At the heart of the text is the therapist creating essential partnerships with parents and truly valuing the bilingualism, culture, and identity of the child. This leads to better outcomes, not only in speech, language, and communication but also in self-esteem, mental health, social participation, and educational and employment success.

The book concludes with a handy toolkit of resources, including quizzes, case studies, and printable extras, making it the perfect resource for both experienced and newly qualified practitioners with bilingual and multilingual children in their care.
