Wellbeing, gender diversity & speech pathology

Description: The overall aim of this project is to explore relationships between gender diverse people’s wellbeing, their identity, and their voice production as well as the possible influence speech pathology practices might have on these areas.

Gender diverse people provide their insights, perspectives and lived experiences with the research topics in an online one-on-one interview. Speech pathologists discuss the research topic in a focus group discussion with other speech pathologists working with gender diverse clients clinically. Like this, we aim to gain a better understanding of the relationship between these topics and to improve health care services for gender diverse people in the future.

In this project, we work together with a community advisory group consisting of gender diverse people who support us with their lived experiences.
