Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.

Transgender voice and communication is a growing area of clinical service delivery in the United States and around the world; however, many clinicians are unsure where to begin if they are interested in working with people who are transgender, transsexual, or gender nonconforming/gender variant. Recently, at the Biennial Symposium of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) in Bangkok, Thailand, a group of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and speech-language therapists (SLTs) from around the world gathered to discuss ways of disseminating information about transgender voice and communication to clinicians interested in serving this underrepresented and misunderstood clinical population. The symposium participants also brainstormed ways of reaching out to students so they would have an increased awareness of this area of clinical service delivery. In order to address these goals, this article introduces transgender voice and communication with a focus on: (a) key terminology for practicing SLPs and SLTs, (b) the role of WPATH in voice and communication intervention, and (c) a group therapy program for people in the transgender community.

Given the barriers to accessing health care that are especially relevant for the elderly and people with disabilities, it makes sense that telerehabilitation (TR) would be a modality of service delivery that will be increasingly utilized in the future. To date, its popularity and usage is growing. In order for this service delivery modality to reach its full potential, it will need a stronger evidence base that demonstrates its clinical effectiveness. This discussion addresses the current limitations of the research on TR. Further, it offers guidance on steps that can be taken to begin improving the evidence base of TR. TR has promise as a future clinical service delivery modality in rehabilitation counseling.

Purpose Telepractice in speech-language pathology is a continually evolving part of clinical service delivery. Despite its popularity, little evidence exists on how to educate beginning-level student clinicians in telepractice provision. The purpose of this study is to assess the perceived comfort level of first-year graduate clinicians providing telepractice services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying these perceptions and potential challenges allows faculty and clinic supervisors to improve their instruction for telepractice service delivery. Method Survey data were collected from graduate clinicians ( n = 23) during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic regarding their perceptions of telepractice-based clinical service delivery. Results All student clinicians surveyed had accrued between 1 and 15 hr of telepractice hours during the Spring 2020 semester (February–May 2020). Student clinicians were largely comfortable finding evidence to support therapies, providing basic therapeutic services, and completing clinical documentation for telepractice sessions. They noted challenges in using cloud-based computing software and selecting appropriate therapeutic intervention approaches for telepractice services. Conclusion The findings from this study may provide insight into preservice training using telepractice and yield recommendations in integrating telepractice into early graduate training curricula.
