Help! I have a new Cuban client, however, I learned Spanish in Guatemala. Is anyone familiar with specific words in Cuba that differ from other regional dialects? Thank you!

One of my Spanish-bilingual graduate students said another supervisor informed her that we shouldn't teach Retroflexed R. However, she only knows how to produce retroflex R, we think, because of her Spanish influence. I want to know if you've heard this before and if there are any articles to plead our case?

Are there any animated videos to help teach Black History?

I'm curious to know the diverse winter holidays that you've seen in your practice/throughout your education? Let me know! I've met students who celebrate Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Lunar New Year.

I'm creating a practice quiz packet for SLP Praxis preppers! Let's see if you can answer one of the following questions:

A) Disregard dialectal variations
B) Use only standardized assessments
C) Recognize dialectal variations, conduct a thorough assessment, and tailor interventions to the child's linguistic background
D) Treat all language variations as disorders

What do you think is the answer? Let me know in the comments!

I'm a graduate student and had a situation where I picked up the wrong child (thinking they were a girl), and their paperwork says they are a boy. What would be the culturally appropriate way to address this situation?

When should we add eye contact goals? Or why should we target them if they're deemed culturally inappropriate?
