Much of the information was very broad and somewhat common sense. This is likely due to the fact that not much research has specifically been done with migrant minors. Specific resources or qualitative testing surveys/checklists would have been more beneficial.

The presentation provided accurate numbers of people who migrate to another country and the effect of that transition in their social life. I learned that the SLP's have to be sensitive to each person as an individual adapting therapy depending on his/her needs. I live in an area that is very close to the border with Mexico and we hear of all the displaced children who are impacted.

It is a good reminder that we have to look at each migrant as an individual, even though they are so often thrown in to one group, with the assumption that one migrant has similar issues to another.

by

The presenter provided much needed information that is very relevant, and SLPs receive little training prior to working in communities where there are large immigrant populations. We all need to help each other to establish communities that can co-exist peacefully, by showing respect, and listening to what people in particular communities might need, regarding the education and communication needs for their particular families. The information the presenter provided about working with various interpreters is also key.

I have spent a lot of time learning about bilingual language development and assessment, and so some of this was very familiar to me. What was not familiar, however, was the thought of the effects of the trauma that coming to a new country might have on their language skills. This is something that we must consider carefully when working with these populations.

The presenter obviously has the past experience of working in this area in her own country. I would not dispute any of her information; however, I work in an area of the country where we have a profound shortage of SLPs and are in a dire need of SLPs just to provide services to our current clientele at this time. I also feel that our qualified SLPs have this knowledge of what is needed to provide necessary services for migrant children except for multi-lingual needs.

We have to be very careful to give newcomers enough time to learn the language of the new country. American children have five years exposure before attending school and being expected to learn to read and write, but these children are being given "services" within two years. It does not seem fair.
