We’re like a conference—in your car, gym, laundry room… wherever!
Recorded Webinar: The Value of Visibility in DEI: Efforts from Multicultural Constituency Groups
This is a recorded playback of a live course that took place on May 9th, 2023 as part of our LEAHP series. ASHA CEUs are available for SLP Nerdcast Members.
"Thank you for making this excellent, research-based learning opportunity that is both extremely accessible and affordable. This is the best kind of PD: it’s one hour at a time so I can learn and then have time to synthesize and apply. It provides information I can apply to my practice immediately; and I can listen and learn while I drive, fold laundry, etc. thanks for the research and resources!"
