Pam Wiley on Community Conversations About Policing and Race

September 17, 2020

Spurred by this summer's turbulent news, SLP Pam Wiley facilitated a series of town hall conversations on community policing, race, and voting. The 2020 ASHA Honors recipient talks with us about what was challenging, and what she heard. Wiley, president of the LA Speech and Language Therapy Center, joins us a year after she first spoke to us about her efforts to build understanding between law enforcement and young adults with autism.


We also discuss Wiley's workforce-preparation program that helps young adults with communication disorders transition from high school into meaningful employment.
