Did You Miss the September 2024 issue of ex.press?

Check out the September 2024 issue of ex.press, our newsletter for CASLPO registrants—Ontario’s audiologists (AUDs) and speech-language pathologists (SLPs)! This year marks a significant milestone as CASLPO marks its 30th anniversary. Since our establishment in 1994, we have remained committed to upholding high standards in audiology and speech-language pathology across Ontario.  We appreciate everyone who has contributed to our success over these decades and look forward to continuing to support Ontario AUDs and SLPs, address new challenges, and maintain public trust in these professions. Visit the 30th anniversary page on our website to learn more and to read a congratulatory letter from the Hon. Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health.

In this issue, you'll find important news, resources, and information to help you better support your patients. The 'In case you missed it' section highlights key CASLPO emails sent to all registrants. These emails are crucial for keeping you informed as a registered health professional.
