What is it about?
This paper presents a new questionnaire to help speech-language pathologists and others working with gender diverse clients on gender-affirming communication care. This builds on the original version of the Communicative Participation Item Bank (CPIB), with new item wording and scoring guide for gender-diverse clients.
