I am excited to be apart of @NSSLHA Conversations Ableism in CSD Education. Being able to listen to such raw conversations about disabilities is such a great opportunity and I definitely resonate with so much being said. Disability is not a bad word and it’s so important (1/?)

It was great hearing Abby Bogatz speak during our @unonsslha meeting today! I think the ability to be a bilingual speech pathologist is so cool and being able to analyze the language acquisition in two languages is so fascinating.

Learning about the Gaborone Raid in South Africa in 1985 is heartbreaking, “the imprints of the past are found on today footprints” @unonsslha @NSSLHA @unomultiaffairs
