Indigenous children represent a rapidly growing population with unique needs for language development support. Recent research by Ball and Lewis (2011) in the Canadian Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology emphasizes the need for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to adopt a culturally responsive approach.

Practitioners are encouraged to engage in research initiatives and contribute to the growing body of knowledge on culturally responsive speech-language pathology.
