Bilingualism
The 2022 Symposium will be part of the ASHA Convention. Any in-person Convention registrant may attend. No separate ticket or registration is required. For Virtual-only registrants, the sessions will be part of the Live-Broadcast to the Virtual Library.
The 2022 Symposium will include a series of presentations focused on the assessment and diagnosis of speech and language disabilities of multilingual and BIPOC children. Assessment of phonology, language, and cognitive abilities in multilingual children will be linked to theories that explore the intersection of race, ethnicity, and disability. The social justice impact of disability diagnosis in the preschool and elementary school years will be linked to research examining the school-to-prison pipeline and educational disparities among multilingual and BIPOC children as compared with their white peers. Assessment procedures designed to avoid pitfalls for misdiagnosis will be discussed.
