Both under-representati on and over-represe ntation of bilingual children exist in different contexts of speech and language therapy (SLT) provision. The research on which this paper is based investigated possible influences on “misrepresentation ” in England. This paper explores concepts behind measuring the representation of bilingual children in SLT, with relevance to other services, and discusses practicalities. Telephone interviews were conducted with speech and language therapists (SLTs) or their managers in nine SLT departments. In case studies of two SLT departments face-to-face interviews then explored misrepresentation. In different contexts relative numbers of bilingual and monolingual children receiving SLT were compared with a) each other, and b) their proportions in the general population.
