Synopsis

The Most Adopted Text for Courses on Cultural and Linguistic Diversity!

Culturally Responsive Practices in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, Third Edition provides an innovative perspective on cultural responsiveness in the field of communication sciences and disorders. It is imperative for clinicians and scientists to be aware of diverse aspects of globalization: how these aspects may affect their own knowledge, strengths, biases, and interventions, as well as the partnerships they build with communities, families, and individuals in their care. The purpose of this essential textbook is to facilitate the creation of knowledge and the development of attitudes and skills that lead to culturally responsive practices.
Authored by two leading scholars in the field, Yvette D. Hyter, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, ASHA Fellow, and ASHA Honors, and Marlene B. Salas-Provance, PhD, MHA, CCC-SLP, FNAP, and ASHA Fellow, the text presents conceptual frameworks to guide readers toward cultural responsiveness by becoming critically engaged users of culturally responsive and globally sustainable practices. The text is focused on speech, language, and hearing, but also draws from theoretical frameworks in other disciplines for an interprofessional, transdisciplinary, and macro-practice perspective. This information will help speech-language pathology and audiology students and professionals build their own conceptual framework for providing culturally and linguistically responsive services and engaging with others globally.
