Ep. 63 - The Ethics of Moral Injury in Speech Pathology and Transgender Voice Intervention

In this episode, I have Rebecca Von Duering (they/them), MS-SLP back on the show to discuss moral injury and considerations for transgender voice intervention.

Tune in as we unpack:

• Moral injury - how it affects speech therapists due to limitations in care.
• Transgender voice care & navigating challenges like microaggressions.
• Advocating for transgender clients & becoming a strong ally.
