Frequently Asked Questions
Does speaking two languages cause a speech or language delay?
Bilingualism does not cause a communication disorder. A child may have different skills in each language, so evaluation should consider both languages and the child’s language experiences.
Can therapy address English and Spanish?
Bilingual speech-language services can consider communication in English and Spanish. The approach depends on the person’s language use, needs, and goals, which can be discussed during an initial conversation.
What happens during a speech-language evaluation?
An evaluation typically includes a discussion of concerns and language history, observation, and appropriate assessment activities. The clinician uses this information to explain findings and recommend next steps.
What should I bring to an initial appointment?
Bring any relevant records, assessment reports, or questions you have. It can also help to describe the languages used at home, school, or work and share specific communication concerns.
