What is an "S-LP"?
Speech-Language Pathologists (S-LP) are听communication health professionals in charge of the assessment, analysis, intervention and prevention of disorders related to:
- the voice (aphonia, dysphonia, laryngectomy, etc), fluency (stuttering);
- speech (articulation, dysarthria, etc);
- language (aphasia, dyslexia, specific language impairment, autism, language delay, etc);听and
- oropharyngeal function (swallowing).
S-LP's are听also involved with the deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in close collaboration with the audiologist, and provides Augmentative and Alternative Communication tools to individuals with severe communication disorders who have lost their capacity to communicate.
S-LP's serve a diverse clientele: preschoolers and school age kids, adolescents, adults and the elderly. They can work in school boards, special education facilities, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, long-term care facilities, CLSCs, and in private practice.

The School鈥檚 professional program not only with the provincial regulatory body (the Ordre des Orthophonistes et Audiologistes du Qu茅bec [OOAQ]), but also with SAC. It鈥檚 important to note that, as of 1998, SAC and ASHA (the US equivalent) recognize one another's certification.
