Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences professionals frequently partner with marginalized, stigmatized, and minoritized communities, placing social justice at the forefront of disciplinary roles and responsibilities. Addressing and dismantling barriers to communication access requires clinicians, educators, and researchers to embrace cultural humility as a foundational approach. This session will define cultural humility, emphasizing its significance for equitable speech-language practices and anti-oppressive teaching. Participants will explore strategies to cultivate reflection, regard, and resiliency, fostering an orientation of lifelong learning and building non-paternalistic partnerships. The session will also outline a pathway for creating and sustaining a lifelong learning community that promotes equity and inclusion within institutions and across the profession.
