Barbara Bomtempo is an international educational counsellor, founder of Multilingualista, and co-author of Slurping Soup. She holds an MA in Educational Psychology from the University of London and coaches families in six languages, including English and Catalan.
Estela Bayarri is a Linguist and a Pediatric Speech-Language Therapist, specialised in early intervention, family centered therapy, naturalistic intervention, with 20+ years of experience. She helps families (especially multilingual families) with children with communication challenges, such as late talkers, or those with a diagnosis of language delay or neurodivergent children. Her intervention approach is family centered because the caregivers of the child are who learn how they can encourage their language development through the daily activities and routines.
