This paper describes in detail a case study using an effective Korean-English bilingual speech-language intervention.
This case study followed a child with autism for 24 months (ages three to five). During this time the child received a unique bilingual speech-language intervention that included parental involvement. Results of this study suggest that, when English is not the primary language used at home, services work best when provided in the primary language of the child. The authors made three conclusions: 1) it is beneficial for children to receive culturally sensitive intervention in their primary language as early as possible; 2) vocabulary development can be achieved in bilingual children; and 3) culturally sensitive intervention can have a positive effect on reducing parental stress.
