Web Sites/Research
- Baylor University: "Cultural Considerations for Communication and Swallowing Disorders" This resource discusses the history of cultural considerations in speech-language pathology and how speech pathologists have previously been able to separate someone's cultural tendencies and language from an actual speech disorder. The article discusses how it's essential for SLP's to have an understanding of "cultural competence" and be able to understand and respect and individuals' cultural tendencies such as accent, dialect differences, and language barriers. There is also information on how speech pathologists should also consider their own cultural bias when trying to decide whether a patient has a "difference" in dialogue or a real disorder that is affecting their ability to communicate or swallow properly. A detailed infographic that gives tips on how to integrate cultural considerations and differences into professional treatment for swallowing and hearing disorders is also listed towards the end of the article.
