As a bilingual speech-language pathologist, I found this book to be thorough, but also very readable. I recently graduated from a bilingual training program, so most of the information was familiar to me, but I wanted to have a reference that I could use when creating professional development presentations. This is the most comprehensive review of research on this topic that I've come across. The authors frequently use case studies to illustrate their points, which adds to the book's clinical application. They also specifically address questions that I frequently hear from other professionals and parents (such as "Should children with language delay/impairment learn two languages?"). I am happy to see a resource that specifically dispels many myths about bilingualism and advocates for a more researched based approach to this population. I think this book would be useful for any professional that works with bilingual children, especially speech/language pathologists, psychologists and teachers.

I ordered this book for myself. I do have some background in modern linguistic theory. I especially enjoyed a class I took many years ago in language acquisition. I was excited when my grandson was born, as his mother is Turkish and will be speaking Turkish to him as he grows. I felt it would be to his great benefit to have two languages at his disposal.
So, when my son and his wife became discouraged that he was not learning to speak "on time," they began calling in experts. They got several conflicting messages about what exactly was the root of his delay and how exactly they should move forward in arranging for help.
This book provided a good solid background for all the many questions that might arise about children learning two languages, no matter what their particular situations. It answered many of my questions, and it provides excellent insight for effectively raising a child who will have the benefit of two languages at his/her disposal.
As my son and his wife have worked at arranging help for my grandson, I have been reassured because of this book that they are now moving in the right direction for helping him.
I just had a second copy sent to my them so they will have it as a reference as my grandson grows. At this point, he is almost two years old. This book will be something they can always turn to to remind them of important concerns and suggested strategies for helping him grow in both his languages.
