[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 538623, member: 11847"] Until you wrote it down, I've never thought he was raised bilingual (English and Afrikaner I'm guessing?). If his main lauguage is not the one he is taught in, depending on the root f the issue: it could in fact be a huge stress factor for him. I am all for raising kids bilingual (and never stopped talking French to any of my kids despite speech delays), BUT for V I often have to translate and I ALWAYS use his strong language (English) to teach him academics. I want his brain to focus on the new material being presented and not have to be all focused on understanding French (which is VERY hard for him). V has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) (or sensory processing disorder (SPD), it's the same) just like your little guy. He also has a cautionary diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) which tends to be co-morbid with sother sensory problems. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) make the learning of a second language very hard. I'm sure we could debate this bilingual issue for hours, but I believe which teach children who have speech/academic issues in the language they understand the easiest. It allows the child to free some brain power. But at home, during free time, I would never give up on the second language. [/QUOTE]
