Attendees will learn terminology and explore the systems of oppression that impact the health of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Students will hear from a guest speaker's patient experience. Facilitators will guide breakout groups through case studies. Students will learn practical tips to deliver more comprehensive care to 2SLGBTQ+ individuals.

Learning objectives:

1. Define and describe terminology related to the 2SLGBTQ+ community (e.g., gender identities, sexual orientation and attraction).

2. Explore how systems of oppression related to sexuality and gender impact the health of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and identify our position of privilege as interprofessional healthcare professionals within this system.

3. Learn practical strategies to deliver appropriate education and equitable interprofessional care to 2SLGBTQ+ individuals.

This workshop aims to introduce clinicians and researchers to the tools necessary to include the Deafblind community in their scope of practice and research. Various cases of Speech-Language intervention for Deafblind individuals will be examined, to demonstrate some of the many ways in which clinicians can support Deafblind communication.

Student clinicians will learn about various modalities of communication, the roles of interpreters and Deafblind intervenors, how to work with interpreters and Deafblind intervenors and plan accordingly for appointments with Deafblind clients. Then students will discuss and apply these skills to their practice and then role play using these skills in simulated sessions. 

Learning Objectives
1) Student clinicians will develop a concrete understanding of the roles of Deafblind intervenors and interpreters.
2) Student clinicians will gain exposure to various modalities of communication.
3) Student clinicians will learn rapport building strategies with Deafblind clients
