This study explores how speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use the American Sign Language (ASL)–English bilingual approach to support Deaf students, with a focus on how their understanding of language, collaboration, and professional roles has evolved.
The findings showed the need for systemic change in how SLPs are prepared to work with Deaf students and point to the ASL–English bilingual programs as a meaningful resource for working with Deaf students. These insights contribute to the growing call for bilingual, culturally responsive practices in speech-language pathology and support broader efforts to align services with the linguistic and cultural needs of Deaf students.
