When episodes are labelled SLP CORNER - SNACK it just means that it is a shorter version of my regular podcast that offers bite sized information that is interesting and worth a discussion.
Dr. Stefka Marinova-Todd is joining us again today to discuss all things bilingualism and children with special needs. Dr. Marinova-Todd is a developmental psycholinguist with her main research interests being bilingual language development and second language acquisition. Dr. Marinova-Todd is an Associate Professor at the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences at UBC and is currently an Associate Editor at Applied Psycholinguistics, and is on the editorial board at Language, Speech and Hearing Services in Schools which is an ASHA journal.
We cover questions such as:
- Are there differences in early language development between monolingual and bilingual-exposed young children with autism?
- If a child has autism, and the parents first language is not English, which language should they speak to their child in and why? Should parents speak in a language they aren’t fully proficient in?
- If a child has special needs should they still be learning another language if their siblings are but the parents L1 is English?

I am very excited for my guest today! It is my favourite SLP professor Dr. Stefka Marinova-Todd. She is a developmental psycholinguist with her main research interests being bilingual language development and second language acquisition. Dr. Marinova-Todd is an Associate Professor at the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences at UBC and is currently an Associate Editor at Applied Psycholinguistics, and is on the editorial board at Language, Speech and Hearing Services in Schools which is an ASHA journal.
We cover popular questions such as:
- When are you considered a bilingual? What does it mean to be bilingual?
- What are the benefits to learning a second language?
- Is bilingualism or learning a second language the reason why a child is a “late talker” or experiencing delays in their language development?
- When is it too late or is it never too late to learn a second language in childhood?
We also talk about language immersion schools, code-switching, milestones and tips for introducing a new language to your child.

21. SLP CORNER: Late Talkers, Strategies for Late Talkers, Pre-Verbal Skills, Autism, Play-Based Therapy, Symbolic Play and Play Milestones Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

Send us a Text Message.

This week's guest is one of my absolute favourites Anna Dalziel, RSLP also known as Anna Dee SLP! Anna works primarily with 3-6 year olds with severe speech and language delays. Anna loves play based therapy, treating speech sound disorders, and working closely with families and school staff.
Find Anna's:
- Instagram
- FB Page
- Anna Dee SLP website and Anna's Communication Services website
- Teachers Pay Teachers page
We discuss late talkers, what SLPs assess other than word size in late talkers, pre-verbal skills, strategies to help late talkers and other kiddos in need of some SLP supports, how to differentiate between Autism and a late talker, and why Anna loves play-based therapy. We also talk about play milestones and how symbolic play relates to language development.
Note: Two things we want to emphasize is (1) make sure to always get a hearing test in addition to an SLP assessment and (2) most late talkers still have difficulties by age five and therefore they still require SLP intervention.
Click here for a helpful article on symbolic play and click here for the link for the research discussed below.
Research has shown us that Late Talkers (LT) follow one of these paths:
- Between 20–30% of LT do not grow out of their language delay. These children have ongoing difficulties and need intervention to help them with their language and literacy skills. They may receive a diagnosis of language disorder.
- Between 70–80% of LT seem to catch up to their peers by the time they enter school. Sometimes these children are called “late bloomers” because they eventually seem to catch up to other children their age. When their “general language skills” are tested, they score in the average range, which might tell us not to worry anymore. But research tells us that these children still have difficulties that we should not ignore.
- LT who seem to catch up continue to have some weaknesses
- LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language and literacy skills
- While these differences might seem small, it means that LT who seem to “grow out of it” are working at a disadvantage when it comes to developing later language skills.

“Late bloomers” who seem to catch up actually show weaknesses in these areas:
- Some language & literacy skills – these include vocabulary, grammar, phonology, reading, understanding and creating stories, writing, and listening comprehension. These subtle weaknesses can continue through adolescence
- Other skills that are related to language – these are skills that rely on language, such as social skills, behaviour, and executive function skills
- How the brain processes speech – researchers have studied 3 to 5-year olds who had a history of late talking, and noticed that they don’t process the speech they hear as easily as other children do. This means that they have immature or less developed speech processing skills, which can interfere with their progress with language and literacy development
