Subject: Treating dyspraxia in multilingual environment

My 3 1/2 yr old son has dyspraxia. He doesn't seem to be that clumsy but he is developmentally delayed (late in walking, drools) and definitely delayed in talking.... there may be a motor oral sensory issue too. We lived overseas in a French/Arabic culture with English spoken at home. He is now at home getting his first year of therapy in English. Either he continues there a second year (with continued family separation as I continue to work in the Maghreb) or we bringthe family back with a (bright) live in anglophone helper who will work with him 2 hours a day and we seek occupational therapy locally. Has anyone had experience / knowledge of how a dyspraxic child with speech difficulties adjusts to multilingual environment? Thanks.
