This very important episode includes a conversation with educational audiologist, Mallorie Evans. We discussed:

* the bias in audiology towards auditory/oral communication, to the exclusion and detriment of language access.

* the need for affective counseling, and the first impressions parents of DHH babies receive from the professionals they interact with.

* the lack of representation of BIPOC clinicians.

* language deprivation * where parents can get more information, and what is need to become an advocate.

Dr. Lilach Saperstein:

Welcome back to the All About Audiology podcast. I am your host, Dr. Lilach Saperstein and this is the show where we talk about audiology and how it actually matters to you and your family. Whether you are a professional, a student or a parent, or a family member, this is the place for really important conversations about the impact and all the other topics that come around audiology. So today is a very exciting episode. I’m really looking forward to speaking with Mallorie Evans, an educational audiologist in California, and we’re going to be talking about bias, and some of the things you didn’t learn in audiology school or in grad school or in your studies; some of the things that may have been skipped over.
