In this episode of SLP Full Disclosure, Michelle is joined by AMN Healthcare teletherapist and bilingual SLP, Natalie Jaramillo. Natalie shares her expertise on supporting Spanish-speaking students in a school setting, from the importance of a thorough family interview to understand a child's language exposure and cultural background to how dynamic assessments can reveal a child's learning potential beyond standardized testing.
They also discuss common articulation differences between Spanish and English, strategies for improving intelligibility without diminishing a child's cultural identity, and the nuances of assessing language skills in both languages.
