I'm Heba Kalakeche, a certified speech-language pathologist and mother of two. For over a decade, I've helped families raise children fluent in English, French, and Arabic — turning everyday moments into opportunities for language and connection.
I grew up between languages — and I raised my own children the same way. I know firsthand how much joy a multilingual home holds, and how much doubt can creep in when a child's speech doesn't look the way the books describe.
My clinical training taught me the science. My family taught me the rest. That combination is what I bring to every family I work with: rigorous, evidence-based guidance, in the language that feels most natural to you.

A personalized strategy for your family's language mix
A 60-minute one-on-one consultation to map out a concrete, research-backed plan for your specific situation — the languages you speak at home, your child's age, current milestones, and your family's goals. You leave with a written plan, not just a chat.
Clear answers to the questions every multilingual parent has asked
Will two languages confuse my child? Will it delay their speech? Should I correct them when they mix languages? A live 1:1 webinar where I walk you through what the research actually says, then answer your specific questions.
Practical tools you can use tomorrow morning
A live 1:1 session built around the day-to-day: what to say at bath time, what to do when your toddler only answers in one language, how to stop the dominant language from crowding the heritage language out. You bring the situation; we build the toolkit.
Two guides I share freely with every family I meet. Clinician-written, no fluff, translated into English, French, and Arabic.
A 5-page checklist of language milestones for each age band, so you can see at a glance where your child is and what to watch for.
Available in English, French, and Arabic
A plain-language guide to the four most-researched approaches for raising bilingual children — One Parent One Language, Minority Language at Home, Time and Place, and Mixed — with the trade-offs and who each works best for.
Available in English, French, and Arabic
