I am an undergraduate at Lehman College in New York. The multicultural quiz in the Feb. 18 issue of
The ASHA Leader
was great! It is an easy way to learn what you know and what you need to know. I had no idea speech, language, and hearing difficulties were five times more likely to occur in Native Americans, or that there was a benefit to mismatching clinician and client when it comes to their cultural and linguistic background. I am monolingual and was beginning to wonder to what degree I would be of value to this field. Please give us more expository opportunities to learn. Thank you.
