Resource manual for assessing and treating bilingual clients

Abstract

With an increase in the Hispanic population in the United States, the prevalence of Spanish and English bilingual speakers is on the rise. The steps and processes in assessing and treating bilingual speech clients are more varied than those of an English-speaking client. In this manual, I have researched and compiled the appropriate steps for assessing and treating bilingual clients. I have also provided numerous resources for speech-language pathologists including bilingual letters for parents, bilingual worksheets for therapy, and common bilingual technology applications to be utilized in therapy.
