I posted on this topic a while back when our paeditrician recommended speech therapy for our DD.
She is 5.10yo and is bilingual, English/German. As we live in Germany and she goes to Kindergarten, German is her stronger language but her English is very good. She does not want to speak English with me at the moment, but understands when I speak to her and talks fluently with my parents.
We thought about a bilingual therapist at the time and got some good advice here. We decided to go for the local speech therapist as the the kindergarten teacher and speech therapist in kindergarten were a bit surprised as they thought that her speech "defect" very slight. I hoped that the 10 weeks of therapy would be enough.
Now the speech therapist has said that she needs another 10 weeks therapy. If we are to do this, then I would prefer to go to a bilingual therapist. I am not completely happy with the therapist at the moment anyway.
I have found several therapists reasonably close to our home. Does anyone have any experience with bilingual speech therapy and could give me advice on what to look for?
DD and DS are starting French lessons in January (we might be moving to Switzerland next year). My instinct is that we should still do this, but what do you think?
Any advice gratefully received.
