In Speech therapy we cover so many different topics. Social skills should be on the forefront of our minds. With that we need to be accepting of differences in abilities, color and race.

Here are some suggestions from BVG SLP that I found to be very interesting and useful to help combat racism:

1. Keep the CONVERSATION going.
2. Use your WHITE privilege to be an advocate for change.
   
3. When you see RACISM speak up and speak out.
4. Support BLACK businesses.
   
5. Educate yourself on ways to be ANTI-RACIST
6. DIVERSIFY your resources.
7. Take ACTION.

Tara West has a freebie pup book that can open the conversation for learning about others.

In her words:

        "This book provides a fun and gentle way to teach students about loving their unique features and being proud of those. The download includes a Pip the Book and follow-up activity. This packet also comes with an assortment of activities to teach additional color words. This book can be used for your whole-group instruction, character education lesson, or as you see fit within your classroom"
