Research shows this simply isn’t true. Children with developmental language disorder, autism, or other communication needs can — and do — learn two languages successfully.

Language is central to how children build meaning and concepts.
Modern studies (Genesee, Paradis, Kohnert) confirm that bilingual children with speech or language difficulties develop at the same rate as monolingual children.

Here’s the wow part 👇
🔹 Dropping the home language can actually limit vocabulary and reduce chances for social interaction.
🔹 A strong home language strengthens identity, emotional regulation, and family connection — all of which support communication development.

So don’t feel you have to choose. Your child’s home language isn’t a barrier. It’s a bridge — to belonging, connection, and growth. 🌍💬
