The Problem

Front desk staff cant cover every language

Bilingual SLP clinics serving diverse communities cant staff Spanish + Mandarin + Vietnamese + Tagalog + Korean front desk full-time. Calls in non-English languages get routed to voicemail.

Lost referrals, equity gap, lower diverse-community conversion

Parents need education on bilingualism

Many bilingual parents worry that two languages confuse their child. They need education and reassurance — in their dominant language — before they trust the clinic.

Lost intake, family confusion, abandoned evaluations

Language-of-assessment requires careful capture

Bilingual SLP evaluations require careful capture of family language history, dominant language, code-switching patterns, and assessment language preferences. Manual intake misses these details.

Lower evaluation quality, incorrect language-of-assessment, parent frustration

IEP/504 coordination across language barriers is complex

Bilingual IEP/504 coordination requires translator services, bilingual school staff, and culturally-appropriate communication. Manual coordination drops the ball.

Lost school-district partnerships, parent dissatisfaction
