Speech Therapist (Логопед) - Thursday - 26/27

Individual 30-minute sessions in Russian, in Luxembourg, for children growing up with several languages.

It is harder for a bilingual child: sounds that do not exist in Luxembourgish, French or German take longer to settle, and the adults around them cannot always tell a normal feature of bilingualism from something that needs work. A specialist who speaks to the child in their home language hears the difference.

Families come when a child cannot pronounce some sounds, mixes them up or drops them; when their speech lags behind other children of the same age; when they find it hard to tell a story; or when their Russian vocabulary is small.

The first session is an introduction and an assessment of the child's speech. After that, each session works on a specific goal: setting and automating sounds, connected speech, vocabulary. Times are arranged around the family, on the same days as the school — easy to combine with the main programme.
