Coaching multilingual families in Antwerp, Belgium

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.”
