Abstract:
Purpose: This article highlights critical issues facing speech, language and hearing educators, clinicians, and scholars that pertain to culturally and linguistically responsive and globally sustainable practices.Method: Points included in this article pertain to the usefulness of understanding causes and consequences of world changes; and the importance of critically examining and reconceptualizing practices in ways that eliminate the vestiges of ableism, racism, and colonialism embedded in those practices.Result: This article provides strategies for moving away from positivist science and a medical model to critical science and a social model of disability for critically analysing the impact that the changing social, political, and global landscapes have on our practices.Conclusion: These strategies will help members of the discipline to rethink policies and standards that can transform practices into those that continue to be culturally responsive, globally sustainable, and relevant in this new global context.
