Grab your coffee (or your tea!) and join First Bite host Michelle Dawson, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, BCS-S, FNAP, for this thought-provoking and energizing episode featuring Alexis Lawton, MS+30, CCC-SLP, PhD Student. Together, they dive into the beautiful complexity of language, literacy, culture, and identity, unpacking how language hegemony shapes the way we think about communication and challenging us to look more closely at the difference between a language disorder and a language difference.
Michelle and Alexis explore the concept of translanguaging as a powerful, strengths-based lens that honors the rich, dynamic ways children communicate across languages and communities. Through a raciolinguistic perspective, this discussion invites clinicians to reflect, grow, and take meaningful steps toward more culturally sustaining care.
You'll walk away with practical strategies you can start using tomorrow while also reimagining what equitable, affirming literacy and language intervention can and should look like for all children.
