The MCLC reconvenes tomorrow 11/7 from 12:30-2:00PM (MST) to learn about and discuss multilingual healthcare disparities! 🗣️

During our last session on 10/24, attendees explored misconceptions about bilingual development held across many social groups, including teachers, pediatricians and doctors, therapists (ABA & SLP), and families themselves! 😬

Attendees reflected on their own experiences with these misconceptions and how few (or no) opportunities many students and community members across the clinical professions have had to learn about the evidence base related to multilingual development. During the session, they also learned about the harmful impact on communities when these myths and misconceptions are perpetuated by those in professional roles. Now, all attendees are equipped with the facts that they will bring with them into their professional spaces 💪🏽

Swipe to learn more about the lessons learned and reflections from the MCLC attendees, beautifully presented by our stellar undergraduate researcher @katherine.berntsen 🤩👏🏽

Any and all are welcome to join us for this free session — it’s offered virtually via zoom (register at link in bio or screenshot to scan QR code on last slide to receive the meeting link).

Hope to see y’all then! 🤠
