This course meets ASHA's Content Area 2 PD requirement for providing culturally responsive services and effective self-reflection, adaptability, and collaborative practice.
In this episode, Michelle and Erin are joined by industry leaders from across the nation to hold intimate conversations on how our faith and cultures influence our practice as pediatric speech-language pathologists. These two hours is an outgrowth of a lifetime of experiences shared by all the presenters, cultural missteps and corrections, religious misunderstandings, and deeply personal conversations for growth and respect. One of the beautiful aspects of our profession is the diversity of the patients we are called upon to serve. However, to fully engage our therapeutic presence, we must understand how different faiths and cultures influence our patients’ daily routines and how our religion and culture influence the services we deliver. With this expansion in our knowledge, we can improve our ability to coach caregivers through language acquisition within the framework of daily routines and make respective dietary recommendations for pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders.
