quest for info/suggestions. re: dialects

[Pafra & Scott Catledge]

A few decades ago when I was workingb on my master's in Speech/Language
Pathology and Audiology, the ASLHA was quite disapproving of Speech/Language
Pathologist participation in any "dialect-reduction" programs.  This
position may have been a PC stand that went by the wayside because it was
profitable (remember when the AMA considered "specialists" in bariatrics--
sp?-- [weight reduction] to be quacks).
