PurposeLittle is known about the professional knowledge, training, and attitudes of current and future speech-language pathologists (SLPs) toward serving people who are transgender. The purpose of this study was to understand the current climate of students and professionals in delivering voice and communications services to people who are transgender. An understanding of these areas is necessary to help practicing and aspiring SLPs work toward cultural competence in serving this population.MethodA survey was completed by 386 speech-language pathology students and SLPs at three professional conferences. The survey assessed the professional and ethical knowledge, training experiences, and attitudes of the participants in relation to communication services for people who are transgender.ResultsIn terms of professional knowledge, the majority of students and experienced SLP respondents agreed or strongly agreed (77.8%) that treating clients who are transgender was within the SLP scope of practice and was their ethical responsibility (82.2%). Regarding training, approximately 20% of survey respondents received training for working with people who are transgender, whereas approximately 8% of survey respondents reported having experience working with clients who are transgender. With respect to attitude, approximately 54% of survey respondents reported being comfortable treating clients who are transgender, and 37% of survey respondents reported they were likely to pursue training for treating clients who are transgender. Additional analyses were completed comparing students and experienced SLPs as well as the influence of geographic region.DiscussionStudents and SLPs were generally knowledgeable of professional guidelines and standards regarding serving people who are transgender. However, in this survey, very few clinicians indicated they had received training to serve this population. Recommendations to address this gap are discussed.
