Speech-language pathologists and audiologists
Speech-language pathologists and audiologists are professionals
who evaluate and treat people who have speech, language, or
hearing disorders.
Working with educators, medical and rehabilitation personnel,
psychologists, and social workers, these professionals are usually
part of a comprehensive team of rehabilitation specialists.
A master’s degree or equivalent is the recognized standard
of qualification for speech-language pathologists and audiologists.
As of 2007 there were 6,968 speech-language pathologists and
1,340 audiologists working in Canada.
