What does it mean to have your voice heard as a part of the legislative process?

We talk with a representative of the Kentucky Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and with a future SLP who spoke up this legislative session during a day for student advocacy at the Kentucky State Capitol.

Guests discuss participation and highlight new legislation expanding insurance coverage for people who stutter—a bill that was championed by former University of Kentucky basketball star and past ASHA Voices guest Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
