2056V - An Exploration of Speech-Language Pathology Students’ Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Care Training and Competence

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association standards for accreditation require that speech-language pathology (SLP) preprofessional educational programs support students’ development of culturally and linguistically responsive care (CLRC). This session presents findings from an exploratory study of students’ self-perceived CLRC competence at the end of their graduate training and factors associated with their CLRC competence, including individual student characteristics and programmatic training opportunities.
