Speech Language Therapy as a Global Practice focuses on the necessary skills and considerations needed to be a culturally responsive clinician in a multicultural and multilingual world.
The book highlights current issues of global practice and advocates for appropriate ways to engage with global communities. It positions culture, context and collaboration as integral and intertwined components of speech language therapy work. Drawing on examples of successful and ongoing collaborative global speech language therapy partnerships, chapters cover a breadth of topics including social justice, translanguaging and colourism and include a series of reflective questions. Authors grapple with ways to challenge the status quo and consider alternative ways of being, knowing and doing, including the use of technology and innovation in global practice. Overall, this collection highlights the importance of creating space for discussion as the profession of speech language therapy is now practiced in more countries than ever before.
This much needed book will be essential reading for students and practising speech language therapists, particularly those interested in cultural competence, meaningful reflection and ethical practice. It will also be of interest to allied health professionals working with individuals experiencing communication disability.
