speech delay/bi-ligual/living abroad, lots of questions

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

My son will be 3 next month and has a pretty severe speech delay along

with low-muscle tone and some sensory issues. He is being raised bi-

lingual. I (mother) speak Dutch to him (we live in the Netherlands)

and my husband (American) speaks English to him. He seems to

understand both languages. He currently goes to Dutch daycare and has

2 session of ST a week (in Dutch) and 1 session of OT a week (English).

We are considering focussing on just 1 language to see if that makes

a difference, as we will move back to the US in the future, English

seems to be the best choice. Does anybody else have experience with

speech dealy and being bi-ligual?

Also, we started the fish-oil and vit e, but I am looking for where to

buy high gamma e online. Any suggestions?

kind regards,

charlotte

I have the same problem, I am from Peru, I speak to my daugther in spanish, my

husband is from Scotland , he speaks to her in english , she understand very

well boths languages, but we were living in the Caribbean in a Dutch Island, and

the education is in dutch and english. The local people speak Creole ( broke

english ) .

You can see we are in the same situaction, only two months ago we moved to

Scotland to help her with the specialist and she is going to the school .

We started with Omega 3,6,9

Any question or suggestion let me know.

Teddy

Thank you much for your reply. Do you mind me asking how old your daughter

is? Do you still speak spanishto her at home? Have you already seen any

change/improvement since your move?

What about high gamma vitamine e? Do you give this, if so where do you buy

this?

Sorry for all my questions.

Kind Regards,

charlotte

Charlotte,

We live in the US -- I am American; hubby is Dutch. With our oldest child, he

has only ever spoken with my husband in Dutch and has everything else in

English. As a result, he is bilingual.

When the twins started showing evidence of a speech delay, ALL the SLPs we

spoke with told us to just stick to one language (English for us, since we're in

the US and I speak English) for now, until that language is well engrained. So

that's what we've done. Hopefully, they'll pick up enough Dutch from hearing

hubby speaking with older brother that it at least give them a little basis when

we do finally re-introduce the Dutch to them.

In fact, hubby wants to move back to Europe for a couple of years, probably to

Switzerland. But I'm saying no, as long as (the apraxic one) is still

having speech difficulties and needs speech therapy.

HTH!
