Bilingualism and Speech-Language Pathology

[@trilingual_tx_center]

I love that she brings up the challenges of agencies and individuals who can oppose the bilingual method for children! Also, the lack of bilingual clinicians. AND, SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC: why parents/families resist the duolingual learning and "choose" English. Wow! I would also like to add an important topic that wasn't discussed here: psycholinguistics. So many Spanish-speaking families "choose English" because their language minority holds, from their personal experience, no power in an English-speaking world. In more recent years we have seen the Spanish-speaking population in the U.S. grow, an in turn the need for Spanish-speaking employees also grow. But still there remains a sort of stigma that motivates families to favor the English, and not their native language for fear that their child will not succeed, in an English-speaking world, academically, professionally, socially, or politically. That is the truth!
