The culture of the professionals working in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) does not reflect the clients and students served. According to ASHA (2004, 2006), “Professional competence requires that audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) practice in a manner that considers each client's/patient's/family's cultural and linguistic characteristics and unique values so that the most effective assessment and intervention services can be provided.” Developing cultural humility through self-assessment and personal reflection is imperative to becoming a culturally competent clinician. This presentation will discuss the current demographics of SLPs and AuDs, define terms related to diversity, equity and inclusion, and explain why DEI efforts are important to CSD.
