We are aware of the fact that working with bilingual populations is often a challenging task. There simply is not enough research to provide an answer to all the questions that arise when dealing with bilingual and multilingual patients. Some therapists may wonder how to best assess the linguistic abilities of children who are growing up with two languages and what advice to give to their family, or they may worry about what treatment a bilingual patient who suffered from a stroke should receive.
