This course meets ASHA's DEI PD requirement.
In recognition of Black History Month, Michelle interviews the amazing Kia Noelle Johnson, Ph.D., CCC-SLP. Dr. Johnson, who serves on the ASHA Board of Directors as the National Advisor to the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association and is Chair of the Board of Directors. This is a fast paced hour that covers the history of African American prevalence and growth within the world of speech language pathology and audiology, how to ethically assess and treat a child with a suspected language delay or impairment when they have AAVE or resides with a family who speaks using a recognized dialect such as Gullah or Geechee, and finally, how to become involved in groups such as NBASLH and the Student Minority Leadership Program at ASHA. Enjoy the encouragement in how we can encourage diversity within our field.
