Patricia Dillabough, CASLPA Board of Directors
Ontario Representative
Patricia Dillabough, B.Sc.(CD), S-LP(C), Reg. CASLPO
Patricia (Trish) Dillabough is a speech-language
pathologist representing Ontario on our CASLPA board. She
has over 25 years experience and she is also a member of the
Ontario Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists
(OSLA).
Trish graduated from the Bachelor of Science
in Communicative Disorder Program at the University of Western
Ontario in 1984. She pursued further studies in speech-language
pathology at Moorhead State University in Minnesota in the
early '90s. Trish currently is pursuing a Master's of Education
degree on a part-time basis through Nipissing University.
Trish began her career in northeastern Ontario
and over an 18-year period she worked in the communities of
Espanola, Englehart, Chapleau and Timmins. In these northern
communities, the work settings were diverse and included a
mental health clinic, public health clinic, board of education,
tri-ministry team (Integrated Services for Northern Children),
private practice including contracts with a hospital, and
a Community Care Access Centre. Since the summer of 2002,
Trish has lived in Peterborough and worked for boards of education,
including the Trillium Lakelands Board of Education where
she currently works. Her area of clinical interest is child
language, especially in the school-aged population.
In addition to her clinical work, Trish has
also been involved with professional activities. She has been
a member of local chapters of OSLA in both Sudbury and Timmins;
she was a member of the OSLA executive; she was a president
of OSLA; and she also served on the board of the College of
Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists for seven years.
Trish strongly feels that it is an individual's
professional responsibility to be members of both our national
association, CASLPA, and their respective provincial/territorial
association. She also feels that all members should consider
ways in which they can be involved professionally at their
national and local levels.
