Understanding Juneteenth for SLPs: Commemorating Freedom and Promoting Cultural Awareness in Schools

Let’s talk about Juneteenth. 

This episode of SLP Coffee Talk is airing on Juneteenth, so I thought it was appropriate to have a conversation about what Juneteenth is for those who might not be as familiar with it and some things that I've learned, along with ways to incorporate it into your speech practice. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The cultural significance of Juneteenth
• Why we as SLPs can use this as a chance to promote inclusivity and cultural competence in our practice
• How awareness of this holiday helps us better serve our students
• Simple ways to incorporate Juneteenth into our lessons

Juneteenth holds profound historical and cultural significance. Make sure to tune in!
