A conceptual framework for linking and guiding domestic cross-cultural and international practice in speech-language pathology

This article argues that domestic cross-cultural and international work are linked, even though the two arenas of practice usually are discussed separately in the speech-language pathology literature. Examples are presented of cross-cultural service delivery around the world, thus illustrating similarities between international work and domestic cultural diversity. the second half of the article explores links-such as immigration-between domestic cross-cultural and international speech-language pathology, considers concepts operative within intercultural encounters, and discusses the use of adult learning principles as a tool to assist practitioners in cross-cultural speech-language pathology, whether undertaken domestically or internationally. A conceptual framework is thus provided that can guide cross-cultural service delivery and professional preparation irrespective of context
