Identifying
ways to embed components of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into our
practice is a challenging but critical objective. Many clinicians may feel they
lack the time, skills, or competence to effectively address DEI; it might feel
like one more thing on an already-long list of considerations and requirements.
But if we focus on our passion for working with people and change our
perspective about providing culturally responsive services, then it's not more
work, it is the work. This course discusses the value of
addressing DEI as part of audiology and speech-language pathology services and
provides practical ideas for how to start to embed DEI into practice.
DEI Professional Development Requirement
This course counts toward the ASHA certification maintenance professional development requirement for DEI (which encompasses cultural competency; cultural humility; culturally responsive practice; and diversity, equity, and inclusion).
