When a speech-language pathologist is providing services to a child whose home environment does not represent the majority language or culture, special efforts are required to adapt to the values, beliefs, backgrounds, and experiences of the family when selecting materials and designing therapeutic activities. When providing services to children, the use of culturally appropriate storybooks is especially important to promote a sense of belonging and support co-creation of knowledge by the clinician and child. In this study, we asked speech-language pathologists from across Canada to complete a survey about their sociodemographic information, their practice and caseload, and their use of diverse literature with their pediatric clients. As expected, the survey revealed that speech-language pathologists in Canada were overwhelmingly white English-speaking women, even though their caseloads were somewhat or very diverse with respect to racial and linguistic characteristics. The respondents in this study agreed that culturally responsive therapy materials were important for the children on their caseloads. However, one third used books that had no human characters, and another third used books that presented white human characters. The speech-language pathologists reported barriers to obtaining culturally appropriate books, with insufficient resources and a lack of books being the most important. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
