Abstract:
Racial minorities disproportionately experience negative outcomes across all life domains due long-standing structures designed to maintain disparities. This webinar will demonstrate how speech-language pathologists can play a unique role in confronting systemic racism by leveraging our presence at the intersection of education and healthcare. In addition to becoming aware of our biases, we must think critically about how our attitudes impact our behavior in clinical practice. This webinar will provide tools for productive self-reflection as well as a systematic framework for building an anti-racist agenda for practicing equitably and advocating responsibly in your clinical setting.
