Reconciliation week occurred at the same time as the Speech Pathology Australia National Conference. Members of our team attended and learned from these and other sessions:
- Elizabeth Usher address: Speech Pathology practice in Aboriginal spaces: A journey of learning and unlearning - Elizabeth Armstrong
"Key messages 1. Aboriginal leadership and collaboration is central to any clinical or research endeavour aiming to be culturally secure for Aboriginal peoples. 2. Only Aboriginal clients and research participants can ultimately judge the cultural security of a service or project practices. 3. Cultural immersion is the optimal way to learn about Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing and develop a critical perspective on current clinical practices"
- What does a culturally secure speech pathology space for Aboriginal clients with brain injury and their families look like? [Workshop] - Elizabeth Armstrong and Kerri Colegate
- Yarning together: Incorporating telehealth into the provision of culturally secure speech pathology services for Aboriginal Australians after brain injury - Natalie Ciccone and Mitchell Walley
