Overview
About the course
This fully online Speech Pathology with Trans and Gender Diverse People short course at La Trobe University has been developed for Speech Pathologists who provide, or who would like to provide, gender-affirming voice and communication training for trans and gender diverse people.
This non-award course will help Speech Pathologists develop the skills to support trans and gender diverse individuals with their voice, communication, and wellbeing. Information about speech pathology approaches to working with trans and gender diverse young people and adults is provided based on the current knowledge.
This short course is informed by a team of clinicians, lecturers, and researchers with diverse gender identities (both binary and non-binary, cisgender, and transgender) who represent a range of different perspectives on this area of practice.
The overarching goal of this short course is to provide you with information about the knowledge, skills, and abilities that Speech Pathologists require to provide trans and gender diverse people with an informed, client-centred culturally responsive service.
The training module will address this goal by highlighting key theories and techniques for working with trans and gender diverse people in a welcoming, supportive, and evidence-based way.
