Today we have Susan Chavez, a bilingual CCC-SLP from Southern California, in the confessional talking about working with underserved populations. People from underserved communities face daily obstacles that can impact their progress in treatment across several fields such as medicine, speech therapy, etc. For this episode, we focus on students in schools that come from underserved communities and how there are several barriers in their everyday life that have an impact on their function in school. When these students are on our caseloads, it is important for us to learn about and acknowledge these barriers so we can adjust our treatment approaches to ensure they have the same opportunities for growth and success.
