Raising bilingual children with neurodiversity presents unique challenges and opportunities. Understanding the unique needs of these children is essential for providing effective support and fostering their language development.

For example, a child with autism spectrum disorder may benefit from visual aids and structured routines to support language learning in multiple languages. Similarly, a child with ADHD may require interactive and engaging language activities to maintain focus and motivation.
