This study examined mother–child interactions in bilingual Spanish–English families to identify current communication strategies and explore additional ways to foster oral communicative competence development. Methods: Participants included 10 mothers and their bilingual children (ages 4–6 years) with language disorders, along with a school-based speech-language pathologist from a public school in New York. The Scale for the Assessment of Oral Language Teaching in Family Contexts was used to evaluate mother–child interactions. A collaborative intervention consisting of four school-based workshops was implemented to foster mothers’ awareness of their communicative practices and support them in strengthening their interactions with their children. Results: During the workshops, mothers engaged in discussions with the school-based speech-language pathologist, reflecting on and refining their communication strategies. By the end of the intervention, some mother–child dyads showed noticeable improvements in the quality of their interactions. Discussion: The mothers’ evaluations highlight their active engagement in the collaborative process and their commitment to improving communication with their children to support oral communicative competence development.16 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Gonzalez, D. et al., 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Competència comunicativaTrastorns del llenguatge en els infantsBilingüisme en els infantsComunicació oralInteracció educativaFamíliaCommunicative competenceLanguage disorders in childrenBilingualism in childrenOral communicationInteraction analysis in educationFamilyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7637192026-01-27info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
