This conference meets ASHA's DEI PD requirement
In honor of Black History Month, this conference, presented in collaboration with #BlackSLPMagic and Speech Therapy PD, explores culturally responsive, equity-driven practices in speech-language pathology.
Through expert-led sessions, participants will examine how culture, identity, and systemic factors influence assessment and intervention across the lifespan. Topics include AfroLatine racial identity and its impact on service delivery; ethical and culturally affirming assessment of African American English; accessible voice intervention through Disability Justice and the ICF Framework; and feeding therapy as a multidimensional practice shaped by safety, caregiver context, and systemic influences.
This conference invites clinicians to reflect on how historical and ongoing inequities, power dynamics, implicit bias, and systemic mistrust affect clinical decision-making and caregiver engagement. Participants will leave with actionable, trauma-informed strategies to support equitable, family-centered care across school-based, clinical, and telepractice settings.
