thesis/research ideas??
Hi! Haven’t posted in here in a looong time as my life has been busy, I am currently an exchange student in the US for one semester. I have been thinking about my upcoming bachelors thesis which I will have to start writing next Fall/Autumn, and I would like to start reading some related articles already next spring. I study speech-language pathology (~therapy), and as a cck/tck/whatever I am interested in the multicultural aspect of communication disorders. This is where I need your help. Have you ever known a cck or a tck (or a multilingual person) who has had a speech or a language disorder? (eg: stuttering, autism, some other specific syndrome or developmental problem, aphasia, some other (neurogenic) disorder, hearing disability, delayed speech&language …etc…?). How did he/she cope with it? Did he/she get any speech therapy? Do you know how they (therapists etc) took in account the multiculturalism/ -lingualism?
Do you have any suggestions on which aspect (about cck/tck+language/communication+disorder) I could look at in my bachelors thesis? I am planning on in the future doing my masters thesis based on my bachelors, so I really want to find a good topic!

I knew a kid like that in Scouts. He spoke something like 7 languages before the age of 13, and he could never make out a straight sentence. Guess how he got his point across?? Body language, hand gestures, accent, and eye contact. You knew what he was saying by the way he said it, not by the words themselves.
It was very odd the first couple of times, but after a while you got to learn a few words that were like a key to his very own secret language.
Latin America is also very well known for “talking with their hands”.
