Social determinants of health which are broadly defined as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, as well as their access to power, money and resources have been shown to have a significant impact of health-related outcomes. Contemporary evidence suggests the social determinants of health can have significant influences on outcomes of adult neurogenic communication disorders. However, the specific factors that drive those disparities are less clear. This presentation will explore the contributors to differences in the outcomes of adult neurogenic communication disorders with an emphasis on strategies to reduce the differences that exists and to facilitate equitable outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate the why and how differences in outcomes of neurogenic communication disorders.
- Examine the interrelationship between social determinants of health and observed outcomes among diverse populations.
- Analyze the complex factors that contribute to observed outcomes among diverse populations.

This course is designed with a participation requirement that ensures meaningful engagement and learning. Participants must be present for the entire 90-minute webinar to receive the assessment. The assessment is a key component in obtaining both their certificate of completion and ASHA CEUs. In addition to standard assessments of the speaker's effectiveness and the overall content quality, participants are challenged to demonstrate practical application of the knowledge gained. The required question prompts participants to articulate and list two specific action items they plan to implement. This promotes critical thinking about how to apply new information in their professional practice with a forward-thinking response.
