True or False?
  1. S-LPs are regulated health professionals
  2. S-LPs must successfully complete a master’s degree in speech-language pathology (or equivalent)

Answer: All of these are true!

Speech-language pathologists practicing in Ontario must be registered with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) which sets out practice standards and guidelines, and implements the Quality Assurance Program. S-LPs are required to participate in a mentorship program for 6 months (minimum) after they have completed their master’s degree. They must continue to earn a minimum of 15 Continuous Learning Activity Credits (CLACs) every year to enhance their knowledge and skills. S-LPs are also required to follow privacy laws in accordance with the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
