Title
Speech-Language Pathology and People
Of Color: A Social Justice Perspective
Synopsis
Bridging the gap between racial/ethnic and linguistic minorities and speech services is imperative to building a better foundation for students in need of these services. This paper will inform policy and practice by providing better insight on this issue through a social justice lens not only for the field of Speech-Language Pathology, but the minority communities and their deep-rooted beliefs and experiences that may contribute to this challenged relationship.
