For Families

Support for Your Child. Partnership for Your Family.

Bilingual Sounds SLP provides warm, developmentally grounded speech and language services for children from birth through 12th grade, along with collaborative guidance for their families. Services emphasize play, connection, cultural humility, and strategies that fit naturally into your daily life.

Although sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish, our training allows us to support any bilingual or multilingual child, regardless of language background. Your family’s linguistic and cultural strengths are always at the center of the work.

Bilingual & Multilingual Support

You never have to choose between languages. While sessions are offered in English or Spanish, services are designed for all bilingual and multilingual families. Our approach recognizes language as an asset and supports balanced, healthy development across languages.

Learning More than One Language

Children can learn to use more than one language. They can learn languages at home, at school, or in the community.

Multilingual children develop language skills just as other children do. You will not confuse your child, cause or worsen speech or language problems, or slow down their learning by using your languages with your child. In fact, having a strong foundation in one language supports additional language learning!

However, some children do have speech or language problems that show up in all languages. Contact us if you worry about your child’s speech and language skills.

ASHA, n.d.

Family-Centered and Client-Led

Speech-Language Pathologists recognize the essential role that families play in all aspects of service, from assessment through treatment, and the role that families and individuals play as key decision makers, recognized for their knowledge and skills (ASHA, n.d.)

Family-centered practice includes:

learning about the family system and developing contextualized assessments and interventions that respect the family system and preferences (Hecimovic, Powell, & Christensen, 1999; Moes & Frea, 2000);
developing meaningful learning opportunities, providing information, teaching strategies, and offering feedback to families;
teaching families interaction skills to support and manage behavior and the development of communication and language;
individualizing services to the needs and desires of the family and involving families in decision-making.
