¡Hola! Born in Cuba, I am a bilingual Speech/Language Pathologist (Spanish/English). I encourage the use of music, dance/movement, and sign language to teach language skills. I have been an advocate of using multiple modalities to help English Language Learners acquire a solid language foundation in their native language so they can successfully transfer these skills to a second language. In my spare time I’ve been developing an authentic Latin music-assisted dual language learning program that provides children with fun, engaging, and effective ways of learning. I write “parallel” songs that teach the same vocabulary in Spanish and English while using American Sign Language as the “bridge” between the two spoken languages.
