The text proposes a reflection on the bilingualism of children of migrants who live in conditions of educational and socioeconomic fragility, offering clinicians methodologies, protocols and tools for evaluating the linguistic skills of preschool children. It describes experiences of screening and taking care of bilingual children with fragility in language development with the aim of encouraging dialogue between services and families.

The Appendix and the online resources provide the assessment tools presented in the various chapters and a series of information leaflets on bilingualism (in Italian and other languages) aimed at parents.
