About the Project

This project focuses on examining language, communication and disability from a critical and decolonial perspective. Specifically, the project uses an intersectionality approach in understanding the construction of disability and the impact of such construction on labelled children. The long term aim of this project is to support children and families from diverse linguistic and ethinic backgrounds harnessing and sustaining their cultural ways rather than eliminating them. This project also focuses on neurodiversity with a specific emphasis on understanding neurodivergence using critical theories with the aim of designing an intersectional approach for neurodiversity affirming practices in speech and language therapy.
