bilingual expertise
Growing up bilingual or in a multi-language home is a rewarding life experience that sometimes presents obstacles. Every child’s communication journey is unique, and this can especially be so when they are navigating life with multiple languages. This all holds true for bilingual children who are also struggling with speech or language challenges.
Key Speech and Language specializes in bilingual pediatric speech and language evaluations and therapy services, available to be conducted in both English and Spanish, offering direct support for bilingual children in these languages.
Connect with us to schedule a bilingual speech-language evaluation today.
Key Speech and Language also offers certified multilingual support for children who have home languages other than English or Spanish. Your speech therapist will focus on the unique needs of multilingual children, emphasizing collaboration with parents/caregivers in order to incorporate your child’s home language(s) into their therapy plan.
This approach enriches communication skills in the languages your child hears and uses at home, school, and in the community. By working together, we can create a strong foundation for your child’s language development across languages and cultures.
If your child is struggling expressing themselves or understanding others in any language, reach out to Ms. Kee today.

It is important to note:
Learning two or more languages will not hinder a child’s language development. In fact, research shows that bilingual children often demonstrate enhanced cognitive skills, better problem-solving abilities, and greater adaptability.
However, sometimes children may experience difficulty expressing or understanding language, regardless of how many or which languages are spoken at home. These challenges are not necessarily tied to bilingualism, but are common in children facing speech or language delay or disorder.
It is not enough to "wait and see". Call now for a free consult.
