Description

• Provides background on the larger identified language and cultural minority groups encountered by most American SLPs, including Hispanics, Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans.
• Considers issues related to dual language development for bilingual students, including language proficiency, dominance, interference, and loss.
• Discusses various facets of language learning in a classroom environment, including selected models of bilingual instruction, and best strategies in second language teaching.
• Examines considerations for planning an assessment including selection of the language to carry out the assessment, procedures to obtain and analyze language when there are standard tests available and when there are not, and a suggested protocol for reporting test results and assessment findings.
• Author Henriette Langdon is a multilingual speech-language pathologist with extensive experience working with CLD populations.

As speech-language pathologists care for more clients from culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) backgrounds, there is a growing need for strategies to provide successful and appropriate assessment and treatment. While no single source can cover every linguistic and cultural difference, this new text provides specific knowledge on the major cultural and linguistic groups an SLP may encounter, as well as best practices to assess and work effectively with any CLD student or adult. For practicing clinicians and speech-language pathology students alike, this is an excellent resource to help provide the most effective and appropriate services to all clients.
