Coaching multilingual families in Antwerp, Belgium
2018.07.01
In March 2018, speech therapists, following a special training, received a short introduction in TALES@home. Afterwards they did a try-out with one of the families they were working with. These are some the reactions we received:
- “It motivates the speech therapist to integrate the home language “
- “The talk about languages and cultures resulted in a wider mutual respect.”
- “It opened doors for mother and daughter to discuss more open their different expectations about using and learning languages.”
- “The tool helped to have a better understanding of the family context.”
- “At the start parent and child hesitated a bit but afterwards they made a nice language portrait.”
- “Some speech therapist already said they will integrate the tool in their practice.”
