Lenguaje y adopción internacional: una revisión de la literatura actual

Language development plays an important role in children's general development, since it is the foundation of their future security at a social and emotional level. Because of the special conditions surrounding international adoption, children adopted from abroad may present delayed or different trajectories from children growing up with their biological families (in monolingual or multilingual homes). With children adopted from abroad, parents and educators can run into difficulties when deciding if and when they should seek professional intervention. A solid evidence-based practice can overcome such uncertainty, indicating the typical development for children in each age group and the expected result after professional intervention.
