 Consultancy on raising children bilingually Individual
consultation sessions Individual sessions on raising children
bilingually are available at my normal speech pathology rates of $115 per
hour. Since I charge them as "speech pathology" families may be
able to claim them through their private health cover. Home visits incur an
additional $15 traveling contribution. During the session, we will establish what
your family's needs are and which strategies would best meet those needs.
Usually part of the session is spent with me demonstrating strategies that
enhance language development. This can be done with your children or as role
play. If your home language is not German, we practice the strategies in
English. That is then followed by you and me exploring how you can make the
language enhancing strategies part of your daily life. I will leave some written material with
you, excerpted from the Australian Newsletter for Bilingual Families and the Snippets for Bilingual Families as it pertains to your family's situation. With
children present, sessions in your home are much preferable to you coming to
me. I only have a small therapy room. For your children not being able to go
and play in their own space makes it difficult for us adults to talk at my
place. While home visits are convenient for you, they need to fit in with the
days and times I am travelling to your area. Thus it may take some
negotiation to make them happen. If you are interested in an individual
session on making bilingualism work in your family, please contact me and
we'll see what we can work out. last
