Abstract: The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) charges speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to be culturally competent inthe delivery of services, including those deemed elective, because clinicians have both a “social and ethical responsibility … to objectivelydiscuss the use of target dialect” (ASHA, 2003a, p. 2). Elective services, which are driven by an appreciation for and a thorough understandingof social attitudes, require data driven evidence. It is vital to the profession of speech-language pathology that SLPs understand the speaker’s perspective, especially given ethical charge from ASHA to provide culturally responsive services. The purpose of this article is to discuss the role of dialect in the perception of individual identity, authenticity, and cultural community from a cross disciplinary perspective and from the perspective of college students attending a Historically Black College /University (HBCU).
