Bilingual Supports for Clinicians: Where Do We Go From Here?
What is it about?
The needs of bilingual speech-language pathologists working in an urban school district were identified in a focus group. Once these needs were identified, three topics were introduced to the clinicians in a professional learning community (PLC) format over five months.
Why is it important?
The bilingual speech-language pathologists openly discussed the areas of support they needed in order to feel supported within their district. They identified systemic obstacles, professional obstacles, and specific supports in their practice. Once specific areas of training were provide for the clinicians, they reported feeling a positive experience in their professional learning communities.
