Hello! My name is Sophia Martinez. I am majoring in Speech-Language Pathology with a minor in Special Education and am currently acquiring a Certificate to Teach English as a Second Language. I am bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish, and hope to use my bilingualism to aid and advocate for bilingualism in special education settings. Many bilingual children or non-English speakers get inappropriately diagnosed with language disorders due to their first language's influence on their English learning. My goal is to educate teachers, educators, and SLPs on how to work with this population to serve them to their needs, not their differences.
