There is very little discussion of socially just approaches to
speech-language pathology. Within other fields of
clinically-oriented practice that social justice is a topic that
has received a great deal of attention within the last few years.
Pedagogy for addressing social justice has been developed in other
disciplines. Within the field of communication disorders, it has
failed to move forward and do the same. Discussion of social
justice is important given the current sociopolitical climate and
landscape that clients carry out in their day-to-day functioning.
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have an opportunity to engage
in practices that help address and alleviate some of the injustices
that contribute to educational and health disparities experienced
by communities of color. They may do this through the development
and application of a socially just orientation of culturally
competent practice that fosters changes beyond the individual
level. Adapting such a framework makes it possible for SLPs to
effectively advocate for and foster equity and inclusion for the
individuals and broader communities impacted by SLP services.
Critical Perspectives on Social Justice in Speech-Language
Pathology addresses the socio-political contexts of how the field
of speech-language pathology and service delivery can impact policy
and debates related to social justice issues. It explores social
position factors and the experiences of marginalized communities to
explore how speech-language pathologists deliver services, train
and prepare students, and carry out research in communities of
color. It covers topic areas including disproportionality in
special education, disability rights and ableism, achievement and
opportunity gaps, health disparities, and LGBTQ+ rights with a
focus on voice, communication, and gender-diverse populations. This
book is essential for speech-language pathologists, administrators,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in how the SLP profession and discipline can contribute to or
develop efforts to help address injustices faced by Black,
Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities.
