Did you know that Amanda Gorman, an activist, Harvard graduate, and National Youth Poet Laureate, taught herself to say the /r/ sound by repeating sound loaded Hamilton lyrics? Amanda and her twin sister were born prematurely and had developmental delays. She was diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder in kindergarten in addition to a speech sound disorder. Amanda never thought she would overcome these obstacles and go on to speak at a Presidential Inauguration. She is such an inspiration! Hear more about her story here:

All US states and DC have state speech-language-hearing associations.The Council of State Association Presidents (CSAP) is an organization for leaders of state associations. Through CSAP, state associations can continue important discussions, advocacy, and collaborations to keep changes to our profession moving in a positive direction for SLPs and Audiologists. Professor Kari Comer Lim served as President of the DC Speech-Language-Hearing Association from 2018-2020. She was recently elected Secretary for CSAP for 2020-2022. Congratulations Kari!

Our own MA-SLP graduate student, Norah Aljunaidi and two SLP graduate students from Texas have developed a Relief Fund to benefit The Lebanese Association for Special Education in Beirut and the World Central Kitchen. We are proud of our students’ humanitarian efforts and global activism. Please see more information below:
You’ve probably read about the recent tragedy and explosion affecting Beirut, Lebanon. This tragedy of such magnitude has left thousands displaced, injured, and forever changed. I am writing to you and asking you to join in supporting a cause very near to me: The Lebanese Association for Special Education located in Beirut was left damaged and in shambles. LASE is one of the few NGOs providing essential services to children aged 3-12 with disabilities including children with speech disorders, dysgraphia, dysphagia, and dyscalculia. In addition, I am eager to support another NGO, World Central Kitchen, an organization that is on the ground in Lebanon providing over 800 warm meals to those who need it most. Thank you for considering this cause, our Beirut Relief fund can be found at the link below: Venmo = NMNBeirutRelief

GW SLHS is going live on Facebook on Thursday, May 14 at 4:00pm ET.
In January, 2020, 4 graduate clinicians went to Queretaro, Mexico to increase their linguistic and cultural competencies in Speech-Language Pathology in a Spanish speaking country. For three weeks, all 4 students worked alongside Mexican “terapeutas de lenguaje” (speech therapists) in two community centers with their own focus on providing a high quality of service to specific populations in Spanish.
Join our graduate clinicians Datie Rogers, Sara Kalyan, Genesis Felizola, and Jessica Nolasco on Thursday, May 14 at 4pm ET to hear about their experience in Queretaro, Mexico. You can read more about the experience on the blog:

Hear from Marcela Najera Vilches, a Speech-Language Pathologist in Mexico, about how she is adapting during this time. Marcela provides speech therapy for Gigi's Playhouse and Andale Para Oir in Queretaro, Mexico. Gigi's is a center for children and adults with Down syndrome. There are 41 centers in the US and only one center outside of the US. Andale's is a clinic that serves children and adults who are deaf or hard of hearing. The SLHS study abroad program has been fortunate to build a relationship with these two facilities and work closely with them for the last 3 years.

Several of our alumni members participated in our annual Community Career Conversation (CCC) event on February 6, 2020. Current graduate students had the opportunity to ask them about their experiences working in various settings in our field. The graduate students came away with valuable information that will help them in their pursuit of a CFY position and in their future careers. Many thanks to our wonderful alumni!
Below are a few testimonials from students on our independent study abroad trip in Queretaro, Mexico:
"To have been able to be a part of this independent study in Querétaro, México has been a true gift. I have learned so much about myself and about the field of speech and language therapy in Mexico. I feel that I have created invaluable relationships through my interactions with professionals, clients and people in the community. To be embraced in the Mexican culture is to feel completely accepted. It has been an entirely welcoming environment for honing my clinical and Spanish language skills."
-Datie
"These three weeks have been life-changing for me personally. As a clinician, I plan on working with families and children who speak Spanish as a bilingual speech language pathologist, and learning the terminology in our Spanish classes has allowed me to acquire the language needed to provide services for these families. I now feel more prepared to work with this population and look forward to putting everything I've learned into practice. It has been my dream for a long time to work with this population and going abroad to Mexico, providing services at Gigi's Playhouse and Andale, has made this dream come true. Although I am a native Spanish speaker, I learned a lot more than I expected by actually working with these children, their families, teachers, and Mexican speech language pathologists. I am forever grateful and will definitely be coming back to Mexico in the future after this trip!"
-Genesis

The Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences began in the early 1940s with an emphasis on enhancing the speech performance of GW students, an emphasis that remains today in our undergraduate program. Soon after its creation, the department became involved in assisting students with speech disorders and educating professionals who wished to serve persons with communication disorders. These efforts led to the establishment of the GW Speech, Language and Hearing Center in 1946.
Our mission is to advance knowledge of language and communication science and related disorders through teaching, research, and service. We accomplish this through the combined efforts of faculty and students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
As part of the training and service missions of the department, the Speech, Language and Hearing Center trains graduate students to serve those with communication impairments in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. Certified speech-language pathologists and audiologists (both faculty and staff) provide the many hours of direct graduate student supervision necessary to ensure superb training for our students and quality speech language and hearing services to hundreds of clients per year. Faculty and students are also involved in clinical research projects, in which clients may participate.
