The two main goals of this course are 1) to explore the multi-faceted nature of our own cultural identities and those of our clients, and 2) to learn strategies to engage respectfully and provide quality service to clients from a diverse range of backgrounds. The format will involve critical discussion of readings, videos, and podcasts; guest speakers; case studies; reflection journals; and projects. This course is part of the Multicultural Certificate in Communication Disorders for graduate students in both speech-language pathology and audiology.
Open to senior SLHS students. Students from other departments will be permitted to enroll on a case-by-case basis with instructor permission.
