opportunity to learn both languages.Research shows that people who know more than one language show cognitive benefits because

they learn to juggle the two languages.These opportunities strengthen family relationships and provide language

practice for children with DLD.We are not sure if bilingual children with DLD show these same benefits.Children and families need to consistently use and

practice with children with DLD to keep learning two (or more languages).The reason people think it is hard for children with DLD to learn two languages is that they will

spend less time learning each language than children who learn one language.They learn the rules of the language by hearing and using it. Using two

languages gives them more opportunities to use their language with family members who may

not know both.But, some

research shows that bilingualism helps children with DLD.Knowing two

languages opens opportunities for children in the future.By using only one language, children could also lose

important family connections.But, it is

important to remember that it is good for children to hear and communicate in whatever

language they hear.And, bilingualism does not hurt

children by causing them to learn less.Sometimes this leads to better attention skills and helps

them learn.
