This course explores the powerful impact of the Silabación deck, created by bilingual SLP Martha Boiardt, in supporting speech and language development in bilingual children. Participants will learn how this evidence-based, culturally responsive resource uses motor learning principles and naturalistic routines to empower families and enhance therapeutic outcomes. The course will cover the "why" behind using native languages as assets, practical strategies for integrating Silabación into speech therapy sessions, and ways to foster family involvement across various settings. Ideal for early interventionists, school-based clinicians, and private practice SLPs, this course highlights inclusive, accessible approaches to bilingual therapy.
