Course Type: PDF White Paper

Learn how normal Spanish speech processes can negatively impact intelligibility in English.

Spanish is the primary language of 79% of students with limited English proficiency. Increasingly, SLPs are realizing the need to learn more about bilingual speech and language development to enhance their ability to provide services to their bilingual students. We provide a framework on bilingual development that helps SLPs distinguish between typical and atypical phonological patterns of Spanish-speaking children learning English.
