Cultural and linguistic competence is as important to the successful provision of services as are scientific, technical, and clinical knowledge and skills.

ASHA's Multicultural Issues Board has compiled this collection of thought-provoking, guided scenarios for audiologists and speech-language pathologists. This personal workbook will expand upon the knowledge that you have about the relationships between culture, communication, language, and clinical practice, and will challenge the ways you think about how culture impacts every aspect of your professional work. Although situations are never exactly the same, the accompanying reflective questions and evidence-based resources will better prepare you to identify your own biases and improve your clinical service to your students/patients/clients.

The book will help you achieve all of the following:

- Understand the importance of cultural competence across the professional lifespan

- Broaden your cultural competence skills to improve service delivery to your clients

- Explore situations that may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable for you and work through them using guided questions and evidence-based resources

- Recognize the importance of understanding cultural variability

- Grow your clinical skills of self-reflection and exploration regarding your cultural responsiveness

Throughout the book, the contributors encourage you to consider how being culturally responsive is fundamental to appropriate service provision.
