Full text linkThis (Dis)Abled Person: Professional Receptiveness Towards Future SLPs with Disabilities
Full text linkWith increasing levels of diversity within the United States, having the field of speech-language pathology better reflect and represent the changing demographic shifts in society is critically important. Little attention has been given toward the prospect of individuals with disabilities serving in the field despite focused efforts to increase the presence of professionals from racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. This study investigated the receptiveness of practicing speech-language pathologists (SLPs) or communication sciences and disorders (CSD) graduate faculty towards the prospect of individuals with disabilities working as SLPs within the field or entering graduate-level CSD programs. A survey collecting quantitative data using multiple choice and rating scales was distributed to practicing professionals. Survey respondents indicated mixed receptiveness towards individuals with disabilities operating in CSD educational programs or within the field. Surveyed SLPs demonstrated awareness of the need for greater diversity and inclusion in the field for individuals with disabilities as well as an awareness of the distinct challenges this population often encounters. Both CSD educators and field professionals noted current limitations of educational and organizational support systems in preparing professionals for interacting with fellow professionals with disabilities. Survey respondents also consistently described professionals with disabilities more negatively than their typically developing peers. This study’s findings indicated that improvements to the field of speech-language pathology should be made to improve the receptiveness and consideration of individuals with disabilities by CSD educators and practicing field SLPs. Advancements that target negative views associated with disabilities and one’s preparedness for interacting with fellow professionals with disabilities are recommended

The Macrodynamics of Indian Rupee Swap Yields
No full textThis paper econometrically models the dynamics of Indian rupee (INR) swap yields based on key macroeconomic factors using the autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) approach. It examines whether the short-term interest rate has a decisive influence on long-term INR swap yields after controlling for other factors, such as core inflation, the growth of industrial production, the logarithm of the equity price index, and the logarithm of the INR exchange rate. The estimated models show that the short-term interest rate has an important influence on swap yields. This implies that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) can sway borrowing and lending rates not just on Indian government bonds but also INR-denominated private-market financial instruments, such as swaps and swaptions
