Objective: The Spanish-speaking population is rapidly growing and needs evidence-based interventions that work within the culture to promote language development in children with a language impairment or delay. The migrant Spanish-speaking population is a subculture that is rarely included in this type of research; therefore, it is unknown if evidence-based interventions that are effective in the Spanish-speaking population would be just as effective in the migrant population. Method: This single-subject investigation was implemented to determine if Enhanced Milieu Teaching in Spanish (EMT en Espanol) is effective in training Spanish-speaking migrant parents/caregivers in using matched turns when engaging in everyday activities with their children. Results: Statistical Process Control (SPC) identifies three common rules used to define the criteria for special cause; the data collected during the intervention phase of this investigation met two of the three common rules. This indicates a statistically significant increase in the number of matched turns when a parent/caregiver was educated on how to mirror and map their chlld’s interactions from baseline to the completion of the intervention. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that a monolingual Spanish-speaking migrant parent is able to implement the matched turn strategies during daily interactions with their child when provided with the appropriate training in their native language.
