If you missed it, be sure to watch our latest webinar on audiology services in diverse communities with Alejandra Ullauri, AuD, posted on the SAA Facebook Page. Also, head over to the SAA Blog to see excerpts from our discussion on LGBTQ+ inclusive audiology with Sarah Sparks, AuD, and Troy Cascia, AuD.
As part of its charge to celebrate diversity, the SAA’s DITF has started a Student Spotlight initiative to showcase audiology students of various backgrounds. Nominate yourself or someone else today to be featured in this initiative on our social media platforms!
