The intricacy of speech and language disorders can be overwhelming in a monolingual setting, particularly when working with bilingual children. However, this book by Sean Pert aims to dispel this notion and equip practitioners with the necessary skills to effectively work with clients who do not share their native language. By adopting a home language first approach, the book delves into various topics, including identifying diversity from disorder, implementing effective strategies aligned with clinical best practices, collaborating effectively with interpreters, conducting assessments and developing interventions, and setting therapy goals.

At the core of the text lies the therapist's commitment to forging essential partnerships with parents, valuing the child's bilingualism, culture, and identity. This approach not only enhances outcomes in speech, language, and communication but also contributes to improved self-esteem, mental health, social participation, and educational and employment success.

The book concludes with a comprehensive toolkit of resources, including quizzes, case studies, and printable extras, making it an invaluable resource for both experienced and newly qualified practitioners who care for bilingual and multilingual children. By embracing the richness of diversity and leveraging the power of language, practitioners can provide exceptional support and facilitate meaningful growth for their clients.
