I have attended Dr Shah's presentations at ASHA several times over the years. I am pleased that, despite pressure from various groups. she is not "throwing the baby out with the bathwater". She is taking an honest, forthright look at areas of concern ( racial / linguistic profiling/bias, etc) and determining how to work to eliminate current negative stereotypes while still offering these important services/ implementation strategies.

This is an excellent topic, and one in which I'm highly interested. Since I am no longer a practicing SLP, I am interested in the topic for knowledge purposes. However, I do teach a course in Phonetics, and often have students with noticeable, and sometimes unintelligible speech due to their accents, taking the course. This course has opened my eyes to what my expectations should be for non-native speakers entering the field.

There was a good message, but I felt like she didn't provide enough detailed information auditorily. I had to pause to look at the picture and zoom in to see the test. I could be wrong, but I don't think she ever called it by it's full name. I could only get that visually.

This course helps clinicians have the conversations with their clients about accents, about accent reduction, about culture. I think that this helps build rapport with your client because you are empowering them in their efforts to speak clearly, whether it be with an accent or not. The goal is not to lose culture or blend in or assimilate, but to communicate more effectively and be the initiator for people not attuned to accents.

It was informative to hear testimonials from people. I appreciated the inclusion of arguments against providing accent modification as well as why it can be very important to offer the service. The "needs assessment" was very helpful as well as the list of the elements of language, grammar, phonology and pragmatics to consider.

It is an entirely new topic to me, but I have always been interested in intelligibility. I'm disappointed that the questions and answers for the course were somewhat ambiguous. To me auditory attention and listening are related terms, which were included in responses to questions from participants. Training was mentioned several times vs implementation. Teaching was excellent and introduced many aspects of bias and reasons for sensitivity training that I was not aware of.

Informative data on evidence based culturally sensitive assessment through a tool that seems comprehensive. I also liked learning more about listener training for cultural responsivity. I would have liked more information regarding developing goals that work with this population, and perhaps would have benefited being provided with some initial example scripts for a culturally responsible interview process.
