Hello, and welcome to the first edition of Bilingual Therapies Inc.’s new blog “¡Adelante!” I invite you to view the video, which explains a little about the purpose of this community forum. After playing the video, please take a moment to become familiar with the blog and post your comments. We are especially interested in hearing your ideas about different topics we can address here in the future!
All of us at Bilingual Therapies are excited about the possibility that this project has in keeping you and others connected and available to discuss/learn about issues dealing with Bilingual Speech-Language Pathology. We are looking forward to your participation!
PLEASE STAY TUNED! Sofia Carias, M.S. CCC-SLP will begin our first official discussion on Bilingualism and children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of literature on this topic yet, so please bring your practical experience and questions. I am personally anxious to hear what everyone can share. Sofia’s video will be posted and the discussion will begin very soon. You can stay up to date on newly posted topics by subscribing to the ¡Adelante! RSS feed.

great idea. I love the new interactive blog.
I’m looking forward to the information about bilingualism among children with autism spectrum disorders. This is a wonderful resource!
Hi,
found this articules:
- Autistic Spectrum Disorders and learning foreingn languages. (Vivienne Wire, Support Learning -Volume 20- number 3-2005)
- Multucultural Issues in Autism ( Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, Vol. 34, No. 2, April 2004) This is not about bilingualism but, it addresses the importance of the envieroment in Autism)
I hope they can be interesting for you.
Sincerely,
Luz Maria
