While looking at instructions for SAILS program on Dr. Rvachew's McGill's
website, I looked at EI research for bilinguals. Here's a quote about Dr. Karen
Mattock's study: Other results from this study show that infants raised in
monolingual English homes, monolingual French homes and bilingual French-English
homes produce similar quality babble at 8 and 17 months of age. This finding
suggests that bilingualism is not an impediment to very early speech
development.
This finding doesn't seem to support what you were saying about speech and
language development.
The child I'm working with, did not babble. He was a quiet baby. I don't think
that had to do with the languages he was exposed to, but some aspect of his
development.

Excellent question! I'm trying to remember where I picked up this
little tidbit. Can anyone help?
