Bilingual Children and Communication Disorders: A 30-Year Research Retrospective.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a review of the empirical literature at the intersection of bilingualism and pediatric communication disorders. A computer search of six electronic databases was done to identify studies published in English since 1950 that directly investigated some aspect of speech, language, or cognitive performance in developing bilinguals and children with communication impairments. The computer search yielded 116 nonduplicated articles, the first published in 1978. An article review by the authors further reduced the number of studies meeting search criteria to 64. A majority of studies focused on primary developmental lan...

Using Language Sampling in Clinical Assessments with Bilingual Children: Challenges and Future Directions.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Current language tests designed to assess Spanish-English-speaking children have limited clinical accuracy and do not provide sufficient information to plan language intervention. In contrast, spontaneous language samples obtained in the two languages can help identify language impairment with higher accuracy. In this article, we describe several diagnostic indicators that can be used in language assessments based on spontaneous language samples. First, based on previous research with monolingual and bilingual English speakers, we show that a verb morphology composite measure in combination with a measure of mean lengt...

Cross-Linguistic Universals in Reading Acquisition with Applications to English-Language Learners with Reading Disabilities.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is a considerable gap in English reading achievement between English-language learners and native speakers in the United States. Differentiation of whether English language learners' struggles are symptomatic of reading disability or related to second language acquisition is often challenging. These issues highlight the need for increased insight into reading development and disability in this population. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of cross-linguistic universals in reading acquisition, how reading disabilities manifest in various languages, and whether diagnostic and instructional appro...

Multicultural Issues in Test Interpretation.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion, we maintain that there will never be a perfect test or set of tests to adequately assess the communication skills of a bilingual individual. This is not surprising because we have yet to develop an ideal test or set of tests that fits monolingual Anglo speakers perfectly. Tests are tools, and the speech-language pathologist needs to know how to use those tools most effectively and equitably. The goal of this article is to provide such guidance.

The framework of the International Classification of Functioning is used to explain the importance of understanding cultural behaviors, values, and beliefs when assessing and providing intervention for communication impairments in persons from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds.

By using their anchored understanding, professionals can create a 3rd space as a way to integrate the differing perspectives of families and professionals to provide culturally/linguistically appropriate assessments and interventions....

Semin Speech Lang 2009; 30: 198-206DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1225956ABSTRACTThe methods of ethnography and action research have much to offer to the field of speech-language pathology, particularly as our clinical populations are becoming increasingly diverse. We suggest that practicing speech-language pathologists and students, as well as researchers, will benefit from strategies that use the methods of participatory action research and ethnography as guiding principles to their work. Ethnography seeks to discover meaningful structures in a culture from the perspective of those whose culture it is. Action research, which shares...

Semin Speech Lang 2009; 30: 187-197DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1225955ABSTRACTCognitive neuropsychological models (CNMs) have been useful to generate a theory of aphasia rehabilitation. In contrast to the traditional syndrome approach, CNMs employ cognitive accounts to interpret language disturbances after brain damage. In this article, we apply CNMs to monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-English readers with acquired dyslexia whose first language is Spanish. Although there are many studies of acquired dyslexia (reading errors associated with aphasia), they primarily have focused on English and French readers. Similar invest...
