Culture, Language, and Identity

Foundations for Client-Centered Speech-Language Pathology

Culture, language, and identity shape speech-language pathology.

What does that mean?

What does it mean for you, your clients, your colleagues, and your practice?

What does it mean for our profession?

Come in. I am glad you are here. Let’s get started.
Our journey metaphor, plus definitions, mindsets, models, frameworks, standards, and laws
Languages, dialects, and accents deserve special consideration in our speech- and language-focused profession
Our society shapes us, our clients, our colleagues, and our profession
Our profession itself has a culture!
Clinical service delivery requires skills for multi-cultural, cross-cultural, multi-linguistic, and cross-linguistic situations
The domains of professional practice, including research, education, and administration, all require skills for multi-cultural, cross-cultural, multi-linguistic, and cross-linguistic situations
Where will your journey take you next? How can we continue to improve our practice and our profession?
