This post-graduate program prepares you to support speech-language pathologists and audiologists — speech, language and hearing disorders, assessment support, therapy techniques and working across the lifespan — with supervised clinical placements. It builds on your prior qualification with specialised health skills. Graduates work as communicative disorders assistants in schools, clinics, hospitals and community health, a meaningful and growing field.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Lambton College's Sarnia campus in Ontario — an affordable college in Canada's industrial heartland.
