BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES The program As a graduate of this program, you'll be prepared to work in an adjunctive capacity as supportive personnel to qualified speech-language pathologists and/or audiologists in a variety of treatment settings. Emphasis is placed on preparing graduates to conduct remediation programming after the speech-language pathologist or the audiologist has completed the assessment and determined the treatment plan. Based on a thorough understanding of physiological and functional speech/language and hearing disorders, students develop programming skills and learn intervention techniques to evoke and sustain communication behaviours. In addition, students become aware of vital behaviour and environmental factors that can potentially support or erode the efficacy of treatment.
