]]> Comment on Narrative Assessments with Spanish-Speaking Children by Ana Maria Ulloa http://blog.bilingualtherapies.com/assessment-resources/narrative-assessments-with-spanish-speaking-children/comment-page-1/#comment-1192 Ana Maria Ulloa Thu, 05 Jan 2012 06:06:29 +0000 http://blog.bilingualtherapies.com/?p=288#comment-1192 Anny, Soy Colombiana. Muy interesante tu artículo. No soy fonoaudióloga, soy antropóloga, pero estoy buscando un terapista de lenguaje en Bogotá que sea bilingue para mi hermana. Ella tiene afasia de conducción luego de un ACV. Mi hermana estaba haciendo un doctorado en Stony Brook en Ecología y Evolución y tenía muy buen nivel de inglés. El accidente ocurrió hace dos años, y sigue con limitaciones en la producción del lenguaje hablado y escrito. Pero ha avanzado bastante en sus terapias que han sido realizadas hasta el momento sólo en Español. Ella quiere retomar el Inglés porque piensa volver a vivir en Estados Unidos pero no logro encontrar una persona que tenga conocimientos en patologias del lenguaje y bilinguismo que viva en Bogotá. Por esto te escribo en este blog, viendo que eres graduada de la Universidad del Valle, y de pronto conozcas a alguien que me pueda orientar. Muchas gracias y me disculpo por usar este medio de discusión académica y profesional para este fin. Ana Maria. Anny,

I have been a speech/language pathologist for many years (over 15) and I am bilingual (Spanish/English). Currently, I am enrolled in coursework to pursue a "bilingual extension" and I am seeking out more information regarding bilingualism and materials to best help the children I serve (3-5 year old preschoolers in a therapy clinic). Thank you all and if anyone has ideas or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, Rhonda in NY I am so glad that I found this website.

Thankyou. We have a situation where our son has language based learning difficulties, APD, mild dyslexia and mild dyspraxia. We are a mixed family, dad Croatian and mum English. We lived in the UK when the children were very young and moved to Croatia when our youngest son who has these conditions was 3.5. At home we speak mainly English but all the children are at regular Croatian schools. Getting the diagnoses has been difficult but we are progressing now and getting individual help in Croatian lessons for our son. I can't really help him with his homework as the grammar is too complicated and whilst I speak the language ok , my reading and writing is poor. We will not drop English at home, it is too important a language for us to be proficient in. Any suggestions ideas will be gratefully received!!

The Bilingual Spanish and English Story Retell reference databaes have been expanded and updated, from over 2,000 children in the 2008 version, to over 5,000 children in SALT 2012; there are now Bilingual Spanish and English Unique Story reference databases also available! There are many additional improvements in SALT 2012, but I want to highlight two for purposes of this blog. First, there is no longer a "Bilingual SE" version of SALT. SALT 2012 is now a stand-alone product that contains the Bilingual Spanish and English Story Retell AND Unique Story reference databaes. It also contains severel additional reference databases of children whose first language was English from the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. Second, SALT 2012 now comes with a text book that details the process of language sample analysis (LSA), including a chapter I co-authored with Dr. Aquiles Iglesias on bilingual LSA. I highly recommend it =) Finally, if you have previously purchased on older version of SALT, you can upgrade to SALT 2012 for a nominal fee. Hi Elizabeth,

I have a teaching credential and an MA in Education but I'm seriously thinking to switch career. I'm interested in a SLPA program here in California. My first language is Spanish so I have an accent when I speak English and I am wondering if I do decide to switch career and if I would have a problem finding work. I guess I am worry that my accent would be a barrier for employers to hire me. I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks, Elizabeth Good Hi Melissa,
