Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the historical and current impact of racism and ableism in speech language pathology using the counterstories of African-American families. Utilizing a qualitative, critical narrative research approach I investigated the experiences expressed and lived by Black families through interviews, current research and my experience as a Black speech specialist. The data collected was analyzed using a DisCrit lens which allowed me to uncover the multi-layers of identity, social constructs, power, privilege and ability within the participants’ stories. Once analyzed, the seven Tenets of DisCrit were used as themes to organize the data.
