Shift is a community group by and for students and professionals in the communication sciences and disorders fields who identify as disabled, neurodivergent and/or chronically ill. The purpose of Shift is to cultivate community and collective support and to create space within our fields where accessibility is emphasized and disabled experiences are centered.
Shift started as a student group in the Speech and Hearing Sciences department at Portland State University in 2020. This year, we are expanding our identity. We welcome all people across the spectrum of disability, chronic illness, and neurodivergency who are involved or interested in the communication sciences and disorders fields.
Please enter your information if you would like to added to Shift's mailing list to learn about future projects and events.
