This course gave me practical steps to utilize in my job as a school SLP in working with bilingual students who may be referred by teachers due to concerns with communication. The Universal Indicators of Language Impairment handout is something I will definitely utilize, in addition to implementing the pre-assessment protocol.

These are some questions that I come across regularly in the preschool and preK settings. I rely heavily on the program specialists in the schools as well as the faculty and staff who are dual language speakers. They will often assist me with asking questions and letting me know if the child is responding with correct sounds and/or answers to questions in their primary language. Then if we need to provide RTI, we can do it more specifically designed to the deficit.
