Ethics and Diversity: Doing the Right Thing?
Riquelme, Luis F.
Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, v7 n1 p27-34 Feb 2022
Purpose: This tutorial reviews the complexity of issues and definitions around topics of diversity. The impact of diversity and cultural responsiveness are presented in the context of ethics in the practice of speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech-language-hearing-swallowing sciences. Method: Concepts discussed include culture, cultural sensitivity and responsiveness, and perceptions of the terms minority and majority, among others. Available resources on ethics, changing paradigms, and clinical practice are shared. Guiding professional documents are also cited and practical examples included. Conclusions: The road to cultural responsiveness or sensitivity is one of engaging in active learning and exploring. This tutorial provides some thoughts and tools for connecting ethical practices with the provision of culturally sensitive/responsive services, be they clinical, academic, or research oriented. It us up to the professional, or the reader, to initiate an exchange or practice that is devoid of cultural bias or stereotyping. Awareness of the many factors that impact the connection between the professional and the patient/client/student is of great relevance when striving to provide culturally sensitive services. The reader will gain an expanded notion of culture and diversity in the personal and professional contexts.
