by | Nov 6, 2017 | Staff

Over the next 2 weeks, Semiahmoo Speech Services is undergoing the exciting process of conducting interviews: we are looking for a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) who would make a wonderful addition to our team! At Semi Speech, we are passionate about making speech therapy accessible to everyone while maintaining consistent, and high quality services. We believe that an SLPA would make a fantastic addition to our clinical team- not only would we be able to offer more hours of speech services, but we would be able to provide them for a slightly reduced fee!  

What is an SLPA and what do they do?

What do SLPAs do?
