Episode 363: Supporting Bilingual Learners Using AAC with Michelle Diaz, SLP

In this episode, I’m joined by bilingual speech-language pathologist Michelle Diaz to discuss supporting autistic children in bilingual environments. We break down what the research really says about bilingualism and autism, how to address common parent concerns about language use, and what culturally responsive care looks like in practice. Michelle also shares practical strategies for supporting bilingual learners who use AAC, embedding communication into preschool routines, and what teams can do to better support these students. This episode is full of actionable insights for educators, therapists, and families alike.

About Michelle Diaz: Michelle Diaz is a bilingual speech-language pathologist based in the Chicago area who is passionate about mentorship, advocacy, and providing culturally responsive care across school and medical settings.
