CSD Professors!
You can now add Bilinguistics courses to ANY of your courses to increase the culture and diversity knowledge of your students and reduce the amount of work on your end.
How does this work?
Universities are adding our courses as complete classes or to supplement courses that you already have together. Let’s say you have a course on Articulation, Language, or Evaluating. Add our courses to supplement your content showing your students how it applies to diverse populations. They take a quiz and you get a spreadsheet showing completion.

Navigating Ethical Predicaments In Your Work with Diverse Students
Both ASHA and many of our state licensure boards require us to take ethics courses. For many of us, we feel like we're ethical people. Why do we need to do this?
Think of these courses as tools for advocacy, for what we need in our profession, especially when we're working with clients and students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds . Find out how it applies to you in this course: Navigating Ethical Predicaments

Children with Down Syndrome are truly unique in the way that they communicate and interact. Speech therapy can often be difficult because Down Syndrome characteristics involve so many different developmental domains.
The good news is that by knowing about the unique development in six areas we can account for specific limitations and still have really robust communication. And after reading this you are going to see that their strengths are MANY!

In asking a veteran SLP how to handle a teacher who did not want to work with me I got a great piece of advice:
Find your common ground.
We both want to see our student succeed. We both have a ton of work to do before the year finishes. But was I framing my speech needs in terms of how it supports the child’s education? No, until I found common ground.
It is a privilege to spend our day working among a group of people dedicated to (fighting for!) the education of the next generation.

How Do I Have the Most Fun in Speech Therapy and Get the Best Outcomes?
Using storybooks and speech and language intervention is the best way to easily plan therapy for large groups, reduce planning, time, target speech and academic goals simultaneously and modify a single therapy plan to be successful with different ages, goals, cultures, and languages.
We wrote a 200 page book full of templates, explanations, and examples for you to experience the same success we do with our busy, diverse case loads.

The field of speech-language pathology can surely be mysterious and we get asked all the time from hopeful students what is an SLP and what our job is like. That's why we wanted to write this definitive (and honest!) explanation on what a speech language pathologist is.
So, what is it like to be a speech language pathologist really? As someone who works in a private clinic that also supports school districts and Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) groups, I am privy to a diverse SLP life. I work in a clinic, a school and in people’s homes. Today, I want to give you a glimpse of my job as an SLP.
