Orlando is a vibrant and multicultural city where many families are raising children in bilingual households. A significant number of families speak only Spanish at home, and when speech or language delay is suspected, having access to bilingual speech and language services becomes not only convenient but crucial for a child’s communication development. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) emphasizes that “not appropriately responding to cultural and linguistic influences may lead to misdiagnosis, which can reinforce disproportionality in schools and disparities in health care”(ASHA).
At VOZ Therapy Services, we understand these challenges and are committed to supporting families in the Lake Nona, Southeast Orlando, and surrounding areas by providing bilingual speech and language therapy services.
What is Bilingual Speech Therapy?
Through a bilingual speech-language evaluation, it can be determined whether your child's language challenges are due to a "language difference" related to their cultural and linguistic background or a "language disorder" that requires specialized intervention. Bilingual speech therapists understand the child’s cultural background, making the therapy process more effective and trustworthy for both the child and their family.
If you're uncertain whether your child might benefit from speech therapy, you can learn more about the early identification of speech and language disorders (ASHA), to help guide you through the decision-making process.
