Bilingualism and Multilingualism

Bilingualism and Multilingualism

Bilingualism is an advantage. It does not cause communication difficulties. Children who grow up with more than one language are just as likely to experience communication differences as those who speak only one — but bilingualism is not the cause.

In some communities, bilingualism is misunderstood, and families feel pressure to stop using their home language. Research shows this is not needed. Keeping all a child’s languages builds confidence, strengthens family bonds and supports communication.

Speech and language therapists work with families to support communication in all the languages children use at home and in the community.
