Abstract
The purpose of this article is to discuss the theme of cultural humility and its significance to clinical practice. In recent years, the field of speech-language pathology has recognised the importance of focusing on the culture of the client. Each of us can hold multiple identities that are a part of our unique culture. This article provides some practical ways of approaching cultural humility, applying responsiveness in clinical care.
