Statement of Support to Muslim Members of the Temerty Medicine Community

Welcome SLP Class of 2023!

May is Speech and Hearing Awareness Month!

May is a special month for many reasons, but for those who work as speech-language pathologists or audiologists it has even more meaning because we celebrate our professions and take the opportunity to showcase how much impact they have on the people we serve. Annually the Department of Speech-Language Pathology hosts FREE Public Lectures on Topics Relating to Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. This past May (May 19th, 2022) our department featured two guest speakers: Kuruvilla Mathew, Audiologist / Lecturer (Status) (Reg. CASLPO) & Coordinator of Clinical Education : Hearing Disorders and Yvonne Wyndham, Speech-Language Pathologist, Learning Centre 1, Toronto District School Board (Reg. CASLPO).

Mathew presented on Hearing and Cognition and Yvonne discussed Promoting the Work of Speech-Language Pathologists in the area of Mental Health and Well-Being.

If you were not able to join us please see below for a video link of the Audiology Portion of the May Month presentation and the references Mathew used in his talk.
