Shifting from Convincing to Connecting:

The Cultural Reflective Feedback Loop (CRFL)

 with Dr. Lina Slim 

In this insightful event, Dr. Lina Slim joins Dr. RY to dismantle the traditional approach to clinical disagreements. Rather than asking, "How do I convince a parent or colleague to listen to me?", Dr. Slim argues we must first ask, "How can I better understand the system I am entering?"

Drawing from her personal history of multilingual code-switching and professional experience in behavior analysis, Dr. Slim introduces the Culturally Reflective Feedback Loop. This framework challenges practitioners to look inward at their own controlling variables and biases before looking outward. The discussion highlights that cultural responsiveness is not a static checklist, but a dynamic, problem-solving process essential for building the trust required to support families and clients effectively.

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP): Questions That Count 

Episode 3

with Dr. Lilith Reuter-Yuill, Ling Ly Tan, and Kathleen Oppenheimer

Episode 3: The Role of the Fully Informed Patient and Family in the Process of EBP

Join Dr. RY, Kathleen Oppenheimer, and Ling Ly Tan for a transformative mini-series that redefines Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in speech-language pathology and applied behavior analysis! This dialogue moves EBP from a static checklist to a dynamic process, equipping you with the essential tools for clinical decision-making. Episode 1 grounds the discussion by establishing EBP as a process, not a noun. Episode 2 dives into asking well-built questions by presenting the comprehensive PESICO framework. Finally, Episode 3 explores models like the E3BP and the cross-cultural LEARN model, ensuring your practice is both evidence-based and culturally competent. Tune in to build the bridge between research and real-world implementation.

An Evaluation of Backward Chaining to Teach a Mand Topography Using a Speech Generating Device to Children on the Autism Spectrum

with Ryan Ortega

Clinical Multilingualism- Relational Work and Navigating Difficult Conversations 

with Dr. Nounja Almasude 

Join Dr. Nounja Almasude as she discusses the concept of "clinical multilingualism" as a model of clinical communication that incorporates research, clinical experience, and cultural backgrounds. This framework is not only about what to say in the clinical environment, but is presented as a way of "being together" and navigating the different worlds of the patient, the parent, and colleagues. The session aims to apply key lessons from multilingual and multicultural contexts to clinical settings, bringing conscious awareness to the dynamics, including moving between different languages. It advocates for the implementation of core component skills: humility, curiosity, flexibility, and radical acceptance.

By trusting the wisdom of patients and facilitating innate healing, clinicians can move toward "epistemic justice".
