As SLPs, we work with a diverse range of children, including those who have experienced trauma. Child sexual abuse is a particularly devastating form of trauma that affects children across all racial and ethnic backgrounds. However, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) children are disproportionately affected by child sexual assault and are less likely to receive the support they need.

In this episode, I review a case study of a speech-language pathologists who fulfills her ethical responsibility in a sexual assault case as it effects the child’s speech and language development.

Listen in!

Sexual Assault Disclaimer:

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual assault, know that you are not alone. There are resources and support available to you. The National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 and can provide confidential support and information. The number is 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). Additionally, local resources such as counseling services, victim advocacy centers, and healthcare providers can also provide support. We encourage you to seek help and support if you need it. Thank you for listening, and I hope that this episode has provided some valuable insights on addressing child sexual assault in BIPOC communities as an SLP.
