Gender Inclusivity Free CEUs and Webinars
A podcast episode from SLP Nerdcast worth .15 CEUs! “In this episode we welcome AC Goldberg, Ph. D. CCC-SLP and Barb Worth, MS, CCC-SLP. They discuss cultural responsiveness training for transgender and gender non-conforming (GNC) individuals. While gender aligning voice modification is something that is within the scope of practice of a SLP it is imperative to do the work of cultural responsiveness first. Cultural competency is a piece of our clinical practice that should be continually changing and evolving. Without it we cannot effectively create safe spaces or provide effective clinical services. Through engaging in active allyship, changing your language and perspective, you can create a true safe space. This will transform your encounters with transgender/gender nonconforming clients. AC is a speech and language pathologist and person of transgender experience and Barb has a decade of experience working with the T/GNC population. You can learn more about AC and Barb here. 15 ASHA CEU: Introductory Level, Related Area, Subject Code: 7070 Ethics and Ethical Decision Making.”

After a spinal cord injury, many women face challenges for safe, accessible healthcare. They share findings from a patient advisory panel and physician interviews.

Mental Health or Trauma-Related Free CEUs or Webinars
While it may not necessarily be in our scope, this is becoming a relevant and frequently discussed topic in schools. It is important to develop an understanding of it for those we work with. Many of them will be facing trauma as a result of the pandemic. Many students face trauma already- it’s well overdue that we address it in schools.
“School districts are under pressure to develop trauma-informed programs for students but often don’t know where to begin. In this webinar, we discuss how to use trauma-informed practices to meet today’s unique challenges.”*
