Speech-Language Pathologist Job Opportunities in BC
How would you feel if you couldn't communicate your thoughts, feelings, ideas, or simply talk? Communication is essential to learning, and it can also affect a child's social and emotional well-being.
When teachers or parents identify a communication issue with students, that's when Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) step in! SLPs prevent, assess, diagnose, treat, and support students in overcoming these challenges whether it be stuttering, swallowing disorders, hyperlexia, or hearing loss.
