Description
This course examines the many factors to consider when serving culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) individuals with communication needs. Learner outcomes will focus on achieving a deeper understanding of varying linguistic and cultural mores within various ethnic minority and underrepresented populations including those who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or Deaf. In addition, content will address barriers many of these individuals face when accessing educational and medical services. Learning experiences provide students with community-based, hands-on experiences when serving these populations locally and globally.
