LGBTQIA+ People in CSD Education: Tools to Support Colleagues, Students, and Clients

Tuesday, September 22, 2020 (7:00 PM - 8:30 PM) (EDT)

Description

Unique stressors affecting educational and health outcomes for people in sexual orientation or gender minority groups, and the resilience factors that can mitigate their effects, will be explained using models of minority stress and barriers to care. Applications to our workplaces, classrooms, and clinics will be explored using interactive methods to demonstrate recommended methods for developing practitioner competency. Participants will assess whether their clinical and educational practices are inclusive and affirming for people in sexual orientation and gender minority groups, then learn basic criteria for competency in LGBTQIA+ sensitivity and inclusion, as well as best practices for teaching this competency.

Learning Objectives 

  • Identify the needs of LGBTQIA+ students and colleagues by using a variety of theoretical perspectives, such as minority stress models and barriers to productive learning and work environments
  •  Summarize knowledge and skills critical to competency in working with sexual orientation and gender minority groups
  • Describe at least 5 best practices for how to teach LGBTQ sensitivity and inclusion to SLPs and Audiologists.
