Multilingualism Boosts Key Cognitive Functions in Autistic Children

Multilingualism can support the growth of autistic children 🧠 ✨ New research shows that speaking multiple languages can improve executive function, focus, and communication in autistic children, while helping reduce repetitive behaviors (insight into reduction of stressors!)

It’s a reminder of how bilingualism can support our kids’ strengths and growth in meaningful ways. Don’t be discouraged, use your languages with orgullo! 💪🏽🤩
