The CASLPA conference also kicks off Speech and Hearing Awareness Month, which is celebrated across the country throughout the month of May. It is estimated that 1 in 10 Canadians has a speech, language, or hearing disorder. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists are professionals who evaluate and treat people with speech, language, or hearing difficulties and May month generates awareness that encourages early detection and prevention of related disorders.
The Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologist and Audiologists is the national voice of 5,000 professionals. A not-for-profit association, CASLPA supports the professional needs of its members, champions the interests of those who require speech, language, and hearing services and promotes awareness of how speech-language pathologists and audiologists contribute to the well being of Canadians living with communication disorders.
