Helping Your Child Thrive in a Dual-Language Home
Helping Your Child Thrive in a Dual-Language Home
Growing up bilingual or in a multi-language home can present rewards as well as challenges, especially if the child is also struggling with a speech or language impairment. Every child’s journey is unique, and can especially be so when they are learning and navigating multiple languages.
Key Speech and Language specializes in bilingual pediatric speech and language evaluations and therapy services, both in English and Spanish, offering direct support for bilingual children in these languages.

For families with children from multilingual homes who speak languages other than English or Spanish, KSL has expertise in working with dual-language learners to ensure therapy is culturally and linguistically appropriate. KSL remains committed to honoring and supporting your child’s multicultural and bilingual background.
Your therapist will focus on the unique needs of multilingual children, with close collaboration with families to integrate the child’s home language(s) into their therapy plan. This approach will help to foster strong communication skills in the language or languages they hear at home, school, and in the community.
By working together with parents and caregivers, we can create a strong foundation for your child’s language development across languages and cultures.
Bilingualism is a gift
Bilingualism is a gift
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.
Together, we can begin the journey of unlocking the full potential of your child's communication.
