Description
Speech-language pathology is the fourth whitest profession and has a long history of linguicism, racism and ableism. In Summer of 2020, our program began making actionable changes to be a more racially just and equitable program. In Fall 2021, we began an Action Assessment project and during the yearlong action assessment program, we examined the impact of changes already made and examined appropriate next steps to continue work in racial equity and social justice.
