Course Description | This seminar is imperative in an ever-changing world where people and information are accessible in an instant via technology. Speech-language pathologists are mentoring and teaching around the world and across cultural boundaries, not just the town or city where they live. Communication is a universal code, so understanding the need for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as they relate to the assessment and treatment of speech, language, and associated disorders will improve and enrich the profession to better serve all individuals across the globe. There is a need for current guidelines and models for the interaction of professionals across disciplines and within the speech-language pathology profession.

Learning Outcomes | Participants will be able to: 

• Define cultural competency, cultural humility, culturally responsive practice, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as they relate to assessment and treatment of speech, language, and associated disorders.
• Identify the professional’s role in assessing and treating speech, language, and associated disorders in a multicultural world.
• Discuss current literature on DEI and the need for future knowledge
