This course meets ASHA's DEI PD requirement.
Speech-Language Pathologists provide assessment and therapy services for bilingual, Spanish-English speaking students. The majority of SLP clinicians are monolingual, English speakers. Consequently, it is imperative that all clinicians become aware of Spanish-English speech-language development, how it differs from English development, and the appropriate assessment and therapy techniques for the bilingual child. The intent of this course is to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in SLPs serving Spanish-English speaking children and adolescents.
