About this Event

The Speech Empowerment Conference courses focus on appropriately and effectively assessing, servicing, and advocating for clients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The purpose of these courses is to provide culturally competent education for speech-language pathologists, pursue equity within the field for clients deriving from historically disenfranchised communities, and empower these communities that we service.

This conference is organized by SLP Private Practice in Color in partnership with speech IRL.

Distinctions between linguistic varieties will be reviewed as well as morphosyntactic features often mistaken for indicators of language impairment. Formal evidence based as well as informal assessment techniques will be presented along with treatment strategies.
