Importance of a Bilingual Home Program

We all know the importance of a speech and language home program. However, for bilingual clients, the importance quadruples!

Due to all the great research out there, we now know a few things to be true about bilingual speech development relating to bilingual speech therapy:

Speaking 2 languages DOES NOT cause a speech or language delay so only speaking 1 language will not "fix" the delay.
Advising a family to only speak in English because their child has a speech or language delay is WRONG!
Supporting the primary language is critical for speech, language, and social development
A bilingual child in speech therapy should receive services in both languages, especially the primary language
For bilingual speakers, there is a transfer of skills between the first language (L1) and the second language (L2)**

**HOWEVER!! For most language impaired students, language transfer between L1 and L2 may or may not happen naturally. To transfer skills from one language to another, a student needs strong meta-linguistic skills. Students with language impairments don’t always have these skills.
