Should treatment be done by someone who is fluent in their first language, and if it is not necessary to do so, what tools are out there that could assist with that? ..... Chanel, here is something that I have been thinking, but I need to write it for you: if an SLP is not comfortable with assessing or treating a bilingual PWS, and a bilingual SLP is available who speaks the languages of the pws and who is comfortable with assessing and treating fluency disorders, referral could be considered. In some circumstances, a collaboration or consultation could be explored. BH
