Course Description
This symposium focuses on the evolution of professional views about multicultural issues in shifting from a deficit to difference paradigm. Current and future challenges addressed include: research goals and methodology; clinical assessment; pedagogical approaches and clinical practicum education; clinical service delivery; and public and media perception of the field.
Learning Outcomes
Participants who complete the course will be able to:
- Define the terms “multicultural” and “paradigm” in historical and current perspectives
- Identify three paradigm shifts in the study of language that influenced the current research on African American English and its speakers
- Distinguish a language difference from a language deficit
- Define “intersectionality” as it applies to type-casting group diversity
Program Completion Requirements: Participants are expected to be present for the entire program (excluding the optional lunch). Individuals who are not present for the full program will not be recommended for ASHA CEUs. No partial credit will be provided.

Speaker
Ida J. Stockman is Professor Emerita at Michigan State University and an accomplished speech-language pathologist with masters (University of Iowa-1965) and doctoral (Pennsylvania State University-1971) degrees in the field. She joined the MSU faculty in 1983 after teaching at Howard University and research appointments at the Center for Applied Linguistics (Washington DC) and the Kantonsspital (St. Gallen, Switzerland).
A professor for 24 years in MSU’s, Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders, Stockman worked to innovate change on two fronts. First, her work helped to change the framework from a deficit to difference perspective on the language of African American children in research, teaching and professional - credentialing practices. Second, her work, inspired by Swiss scholars, brought attention to the role of movement and action in the learning and development of normal and abnormal speakers. In 1995-96, Stockman organized a year-long, cross-disciplinary MSU symposium with reputable invited scholars on this topic, as documented in her 2004 book by the same title (Elsevier). Besides course instruction, Stockman has championed both areas in more than 200 scholarly works that include refereed and invited journal publications and conferences and workshops in state, national and international conferences and workshops. She also rendered services to more than two-dozen professional boards and committees.
A trail blazer, Stockman’s numerous awards for professional contributions include MSU’s Distinguished Faculty Award in 1996. She is a Fellow of the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association and received its highest award, the Honors of the Association in 2006.
