  1. Communication Station: Speech Therapy, PLLC

    This is a great guide for SLPs and other service providers who will be working with persons from other cultures. This PPT does a great job explaining:
    1. differences between individualistic vs. collective cultures
    2. views other cultures have on communication (verbal and nonverbal), play skills, and disability, which will most definitely impact our ability to effectively service these children if we lack sensitivity to their beliefs
    3. how low socioeconomic status comes into play
    4. how religious beliefs can also impact our ability to service children.

    This is a great handout with some practical information.

    My favorite part: appendix 1 and 2 which summarizes all of this great information for a quick reference for us later!

    This is a great presentation and really makes sense out of some of my prior experiences with families from various cultures. Definitely worth the price in my opinion!
