There is a growing awareness of bilingualism and the needs of children with developmental disabilities who are exposed to more than one language. This growing awareness is paralleled by a growing research base in the area of bilingualism and emerging research in bilingual children with developmental disabilities. In this set of articles we see that there is general agreement that bilingualism does not increase risk for language impairment nor does intervention in the home language interfere with second language learning. Yet there continues to be challenges in putting this knowledge into practice. By better understanding the challenges to implementation in context we can better address the needs of children, families, and practitioners.
人们越来越意识到双语现象以及接触多种语言的发育障碍儿童的需求。这种意识的增强与双语领域不断扩大的研究基础以及针对发育障碍双语儿童的新兴研究相平行。在这组文章中，我们看到人们普遍认为双语不会增加语言障碍的风险，在家用语言中进行干预也不会干扰第二语言的学习。然而，将这些知识付诸实践仍然存在挑战。通过更好地理解实际实施中的挑战，我们可以更好地满足儿童、家庭和从业者的需求。
