The population of bilingual children in the United States continues to grow. The assessment and treatment of phonological disorders in bilingual children, especially Spanish-English bilinguals, is often difficult given the lack of information on bilingual phonological development and best practices related to clinical management. This audio self-study provides you with critical information on Spanish and English phonology, bilingual phonological development in Spanish- and English-speaking children, and current approaches for least-biased assessment and intervention.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• interpret theories of bilingual phonological development
• specify bilingual vs. monolingual phonological development
• prepare valid and reliable assessment protocols and intervention goals for bilingual children
