Teaching Pronouns Through an Inclusion Lens

Teaching Pronouns Through an Inclusion Lens

Teaching pronouns as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) can feel tricky when you haven’t been taught how to target pronouns through an inclusion lens. As a transgender SLP, I will walk you through why implementing gender affirming pronoun practices within your work as an SLP is necessary, how pronouns can be targeted within speech therapy in a culturally responsive way, and specific strategies you can immediately rollout with your caseload.
