> The large numbers of bilinguals in the world and widespread migrations
> of the 1990s, have led to dramatic increases in the number of children
> being raised in multilingual communities. Typically developing (TD)
> bilinguals often look like the children with Specific Language
> Impairement (SLI), creating methodological and clinical diagnostic
> confounds. Medical, language and educational professionals have
> limited test instruments to distinguish language impaired migrant
> children from those who will eventually catch up to their monolingual
> peers. As a result, folk wisdom reigns, often carrying the view that
> bilingual children with language disorders should be educated in a
> single language, usually not the language of the home. In recent
> years, several research groups have taken upon themselves to
> disentangle bilingualism and SLI by establishing the relative
> contribution of the each to impaired language performance.
