Why is it important?
Very often speech language pathologists find it challenging to assess children who are exposed to languages that the speech language pathologist do not speak or even understand.
Perspectives
Speech assessment from a multilingual perspective is a challenging task for SLP's arond the world. Personally I have worked on the development of a tool called Speakaboo, www.speakaboo.io Speakaboo is aan observation instrument in 7 languages (august 2017) to be used by SLP's who do not speak the child's languages. At the monet (August 2017) it can be found free of charge in the Appstore for Ipad. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speakaboo/id1091291103?mt=8 Any comments?
