Summary
The DEI Highlights is continually updated collection of ASHA Voices podcast episodes that feature conversations related to culture, language, and identity. Audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) share stories and expertise on subjects like health care disparities, microaggressions, culturally responsive practice, multilingualism, and more.
From authors to advocates to linguists and more, hear the way important communication sciences and disorders (CSD) show up in their lives and work, too. This collection of 25+ episodes of the ASHA Voices podcast is easy to share with students, colleagues, and anyone interested in where culture, language, identity, and CSD meet.
