Multicultural Neurogenics: A Call and Response to Embrace Global Issues in Neurogenics

    https://doi.org/10.1044/persp2.SIG2.142

    This epilogue outlines the call to address the clinical needs of adults from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds with neurogenic communication disorders, and the training needs of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who provide those services. A response to those needs is provided in terms of advances that have been made over time, and limited areas that require future attention. Brief summaries are provided for articles in this issue, with reference to how each article contributes to advances in service delivery to culturally and linguistically diverse adults with neurogenic communication disorders around the world.
