SPEECH AND LANGUAGE

Internet Sites

Disclaimer:

Speech Language Pathologists are uniquely qualified to assess, diagnose and treat human communication disorders.  All Speech Language Pathologists are guided by the Codes of Ethics, Standards of Practice and Guidelines from the College of Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists of Ontario.

It is a central tenet of Speech and Language practice that every client/student is managed individually with individual differences being taken into account at all times and at every level of client/student management by a qualified Speech Language Pathologist.

The aim of this list is to provide a useful degree of access to information regarding a number of areas related to communication disorders and is by no means a substitute for an individualized programme.  The information is general and not specific to any individual client/student and should not be interpreted as advice for a communication difficulty or disorder experienced by a particular person.
