Comment on Continuing German in the Third Generation: An Interview with Veronica Dzugan by Thea

Wonderful story! I’m so glad you are finding resources that your son has enjoyed – let us know if you have some special requests. As for other parents raising bilingual kids with autism, I don’t know of any research. BUT, have you checked out Multilingual Living? (www.multilingualliving.org) Corey has brought together a wide variety of resources, articles and forums, so there might be something there for you. We wish you great success with “Deutsch mit Mama”!

I read this interview with great interest–so many of the resources mentioned–Eric Carle, Bobo, music, Hoppe, hoppe reiter–have done wonders for my son. When he was diagnosed with autism at age 3, there was much debate about whether to continue to raise him bilingually. At age 11 now he still has significant speech delays in English, but he continues to love and practice his German with me daily, even insisting on “Deutsch mit Mama.” I am convinced that he has better language skills in English than he otherwise would have had without the exposure to and love of a second language. I have been trying to find literature on autism and bilingualism, but none seems to be available. I’d be really interested in finding other parents who are raising kids with autism bilingually. They must be out there!

Comment on Review: Mitmach Buch by Thea

Rebecca – it’s fabulous in any language! It was originally written in French and then translated into other languages, and surprisingly it just works. T2 brought it home in English from the library and both kids loved it. So we got the German version It’s just a wonderful book, and though hard to explain, I highly recommend it.

I bought this book in English, and now after reading this review, I’m so tempted to buy the German translation too!!
