In providing culturally sensitive services for the families of young children with language disorders, the SLP is often confronted with a set of challenges. The first relates to avoiding making assumptions about the communication practices of any particular family, and is called the “avoid stereotyping” challenge. The solution offered is to repurpose the routines-based interview that is becoming more widely used in early intervention services (e.g., Bernheimer & Weisner, 2007; McWilliam, 2012; McWilliam, Casey, & Sims, 2009) in order to help the SLP determine (in a nonjudgmental fashion) the frequency and specific nature of interactions that occur in the home. When families do not display interaction patterns that evidence suggests foster language development and school success, how does the SLP both value the family's preferred practices and offer suggestions for interaction that may contradict them? The solution offered for this challenge, referred to as the “avoiding mixed messages” challenge, is to ta...

Speech-language pathologists play a crucial role in helping adolescents with language disorders improve their ability to comprehend and produce the language of the curriculum (i.e., expository discourse) and, thus, enhance their potential for academic success. The purpose of this article is to present numerous treatment techniques and strategies for increasing both spoken and written expository discourse skills in this population.

The author of this article reviews cultural differences that will guide clinicians when providing services to Asian American children with autism and discusses culturally based clinical issues/suggestions for working successfully with Asian American families. Theory is followed using examples from three sources: (a) the author’s direct experience, (b) a Korean parent support group, and (c) a one-time open dialogue event among Asian parents of children with autism and professionals who serve them.
