📣 Exciting news! One of our most popular courses is now available as a self-study!

Working with Speech and Language Disorders in a Bilingual Context with Dr Sean Pert can now be started anytime, anywhere, giving you the flexibility to learn at your own pace, with 4 months to complete.

Working with bilingual children can feel daunting, especially when it comes to distinguishing language learning from language difficulties, or knowing how to involve families with limited English. This course tackles all of that and more, with interactive features and self-checking quizzes throughout.

Here’s what previous participants said: 💬 “Fantastic course! I feel well informed and more enthusiastic about working with my bilingual families.” 💬 “Very relevant and helpful. I will be changing so much of what I do with bilingual children.”

For SLTs, SLT students and returners to practice.

Also available as a closed course for teams — contact us for details.
