Cultural competence can be defined as the knowledge and skills a provider requires in order to meet the social, cultural, and linguistic needs of clients, patients, and/or students while providing impactful services.

This micro course examines a scenario involving a speech-language pathology graduate student with a fluency disorder and his clinical supervisor. The presenter shares the scenario, provides context, and then walks you through a guided reflection to help you explore questions related to cultural competence, like, “What are ways I can obtain information about the cultural traditions, preferences, and experiences of a client, patient, or student?” and “How can I partner with them to gain this essential information?”

This course is the first in a series of four micro courses meant to be taken together, which explore the ways in which culture plays a critical role in every part of our work and how our own individual cultures can, and do, influence our clinical practice.

The scenario in this course comes from the book Exploring Cultural Responsiveness: Guided Scenarios for Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) Professionals.
