Summary

The DEI Highlights is continually updated collection of ASHA Voices podcast episodes that feature conversations related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) share stories and expertise on subjects like health care disparities, microaggressions, culturally responsive practice, multilingualism, and more.

Hear from voices outside the professions as well. From authors to advocates to linguists and more, hear the way important communication sciences and disorders (CSD) and DEI subjects show up in their lives and work, too. This collection of 25+ episodes of the ASHA Voices podcast is easy to share with students, colleagues, and anyone interested in where DEI and CSD meet. It features more than 60 guests (and counting) who share their personal experiences and knowledge in a conversational, approachable compilation.
