Note to Providers:

You do not need to be fluent in Spanish to use this book effectively. What matters most is a willingness to model communication using simple words, repetition, and visual support. AAC best-practice guidance emphasizes consistent, multimodal modeling to support language access, even when adults are learning alongside the child.

*The goal of these materials is not to replace bilingual expertise, but to provide accessible modeling opportunities during shared reading and everyday routines. A therapist may choose to model a few meaningful words, support participation, and honor the child’s home language while continuing to collaborate with bilingual colleagues, interpreters, or native speakers whenever possible.
