Abstract
Delays in language and communication development can be attributed to many factors which manifest differently depending on the context that a child finds himself/herself in. These contexts become more complex in countries that are bilingual and/or multilingual with cultural elements that may not be universally unique. However, the culmination of these factors in one context lends themselves to more personalized strategies that are more likely realized through similar consultation methods of comparing and contrasting, and giving attention to the exception to the rules. This strategy needs to extend to the macro system, which includes professionals and their traditional methods of training, as is common practice in the medical residency placements.
