For day 15 of BHSM, I am sharing culturally responsive SLP groups. One way to take action and be more culturally sensitive and response is to join SLP groups that focus on discussion related to being a culturally sensitive SLP and person. Not all these groups will be specifically SLP groups, but include important topics that can help us be more culturally sensitive.
The vision of SIG 14 is to be a leading resource for (a) advancing knowledge regarding the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity and its influence on human communication and (b) the infusion of this knowledge into research, education, and clinical practice.
The mission of the SIG on Cultural and Linguistic Diversity (SIG 14) is to provide leadership and advocacy for best practices relating to culturally and linguistically appropriate audiology and speech-language pathology services. SIG 14 seeks to promote research and to provide networking, collaboration, education, and mentoring opportunities for its affiliates, students, and related professionals.
They sponsor online chats, continuing education, networking, and representation with ASHA.
Like all SIGs, it is $45 dollars if you are an ASHA member, and $10 dollars if you are a student.
