Abstract
ABSTRACT With the rapid rise in the cultural and linguistic landscape of India, it is essential to evaluate the perspectives of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) on bilingual service delivery, as they are the primary service providers for individuals with communication disorders. The current study aimed to describe the perspectives and practices of SLPs on bilingual service delivery in India. A survey questionnaire was developed and disseminated online to speech-language pathologists practicing in India. A questionnaire was framed to evaluate the demographic characteristics, linguistic background, and practice of bilingual service delivery and the challenges faced. The demographic data, linguistic background data, and responses to different aspects of bilingual service delivery were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Seventy-five speech-language pathologists responded to the survey and their perspectives on different aspects of bilingual service delivery were variable. Most of the respondents had a positive outlook and reported having good competency concerning bilingual service delivery. The survey further revealed barriers to bilingual service delivery that need to be addressed and future implications for stakeholders are discussed.
