Great discussion tonight at our Sympatico SIG meeting where we chatted with @vishinair5 about the thought-provoking paper re standardised testing in SLT. Really interesting perspectives from colleagues in UK, Australia & NZ. Looking forward to the next one.

[Vishnu Nair @vishinair5]

Amazing to see our article in print @JournalofCSCD. This collective community response was about highlighting failed peer review process, resisting academic censorship & our condemnation of accent modification. SLP as a field has a lot to answer for upholding a racist practice.

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽🙋🏿‍♂️ Can you identify key markers of DLD in bilingual children? We caught up with Professor Elizabeth Peña from the University of California to discuss her IDLDRC 2022 keynote titled, Rethinking Bilingual Development and Disorder: https://t.co/nFv1X6sSbf

In this commentary, we maintain that accent modification, regardless of how it’s named or framed, cannot escape its role in a linguistic economy that capitalizes on the perceived lack of intelligibility of racialized speakers. https://t.co/TB288KVlM1
