Does Bilingualism Cause Late-Talking?

Dr. Brenda Gorman, Associate Professor in Communication Sciences and Disorders at Elmhurst College, and Dr. Alejandro Brice, Professor in the Department of Education at the University of Florida at St. Petersburg, address the common question of whether or not bilingualism slows down children’s language development. Dr. Gorman defines what late-talking is, summarizes important research on the topic, and makes recommendations for parents whose children exhibit late-talking.
