All About Bilinguals Evaluation

Over the past two decades schools and communities all across the Unites States have experienced significant changes to their demographic populations. With the increase in immigration and changes to educational law, classrooms have become ever more linguistically and culturally diverse. These changes can present major challenges for school staff members who are now required to have additional knowledge regarding linguistic characteristics of bilinguals and multicultural differences.

All About Bilinguals is focused on today's challenges for Speech-Language Pathologists and other professionals servicing multilingual and multicultural populations in the school setting with the goal of developing a better understanding of the typical verbal skills (language difference) versus a compromised language system (language disorder) through comprehensive formal and informal evaluations.

Having more than 30 years of experience in working with multilingual populations of all ages, All About Bilinguals is looking to promote comprehensive linguistic analysis of the verbal skills beyond the scores and possible implications for the student's academic performance. All About Bilinguals also provides consultation to parents, teachers and multi-disciplinary teams working with multi-linguistic and multicultural populations. The main mission of our work is to support school teachers and SLPs in developing appropriate approaches that help students grow and succeed within their linguistic abilities.

Currently (07/07/2024) All About Bilinguals is closed, but we will be back at it during regular business hours. Evaluations, administration and meetings are still ongoing, taking into consideration any State, locality's or school district's regulation and guidance. Current policy is to follow best practice recommendations from government sources and the ASHA Association.

While this health situation temporarily changed the way things got done, the commitment to collaboration and excellence in all areas served has stayed in place. All About Bilinguals has been and will continue to use all of the telepractice tools at hand for the dissemination of information, report delivery, electronic signature, meetings and evaluations to effect a positive productive posture.

The pandemic did not, and will not stop any sevices from being deliverd.
