[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 571335, member: 11847"] My kids are raised bilingual and were still able to access speech therapy. Althought I make some mistakes sometimes, I am fluent in English and ALWAYS said that my kid's primary language is English. The reason: I don't want evaluators to use the fact that they are raised bilangual as an excuse for their delay and then not provide therapy. But, keep in mind that some kids take a lot longer to learn other language. For example, V is behind in French despite having the same exposure as his siblings. Sometimes I feel Sweet Pea understands French better than V. But V has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) which comes, in his case, with auditory processing disorder. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) makes it hard for an individual to learn an other language. Does she have the same behavior issues if you speak in her native language? In V's case, when everyone speaks French around, it ads a level of difficulty and he gets triggered more easily. But even when we all speak French, V has issues. The language is not the cause of his issues, just one more triger, one more reason to get overstimulated. Know what I mean?? Like others suggested, find a good pediatrician who will listen and make appropriate referrals to specialists. [/QUOTE]
