SHOW NOTES
On this episode I am joined by Tamara Anderson, an ASHA certified speech-language pathologist, education specialist, and SLP success coach who designs informal assessments and therapeutic activities for therapists to use with children. She provides speech, language, and literacy evaluations as well as therapy for toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children. As a coach, she enjoys teaching and guiding pediatric SLPs on how to improve their work productivity and efficiency while maintaining their focus on building speech and language skills in diverse clients and learners.
Topics/Questions:
- Why is diversity important in the field of speech language pathology?
- What is the SLPs role in promoting diversity and inclusion? Should an SLP use diverse resources if she or he does not live in a diverse city or town? Why?
- How does your background and experiences enhance your ability to serve children and adolescents from varying racial/ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds?
- How can an SLP effectively and purposefully use varying forms of culture such as art, text (poetry/books), music into speech language therapy sessions?
