This week is the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Convention in Chicago, IL. I was on the Issues in Culturally and Linguistically Diversity topic committee, so was invited to review many papers earlier in the year. While at ASHA I am co-presenting 6.5 hours of technical reports and seminars including a 3-hour short course:
