Parental views on bilingual/multilingual children's support by SLTs.

01 March 2019

The project aims to better understand the families’ expectations regarding the support they receive from Speech and Language Therapists.
At present, there is no specific research on the views of parents of bilingual/multilingual children on the support received from those services.
It is hoped that the findings from this study will contribute to recommendations for SLT services on how to best collaborate with parents and increase our overall understanding of parental experiences.
