OAC-Atlantique

OAC-Atlantique

OAC met en place un groupe consultatif de l’Atlantique afin de renforcer et de coordonner les efforts de défense des intérêts au Nouveau-Brunswick, en Nouvelle-Écosse, à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard et à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador.

Ce groupe réunira des membres d’OAC de toute la région afin d’aider à cerner et à faire progresser les priorités en matière de défense des intérêts touchant la santé de la communication dans le Canada atlantique. En collaboration avec l’équipe nationale de défense des intérêts d’OAC, le groupe appuiera les efforts visant à renforcer la voix des orthophonistes, des audiologistes et des aides en santé de la communication, ainsi qu’à améliorer l’accès aux services de santé de la communication dans les provinces de l’Atlantique.

Equitable Access

Equitable Access

Increased services to Indigenous communities are crucial for ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare and private services. SAC will engage with relevant decision-makers to advocate for the role of speech-language pathologists and audiologists to support rural, remote, and Indigenous communities.

Scope of Practice Awareness

Scope of Practice Awareness

Inadequate understanding of the speech-language pathologists and audiologists can lead to undervaluation and underutilization of our services, limiting delivery and accessibility. SAC will work to raise awareness of the full scope of practice of our professions among the public, interdisciplinary partners, and provincial government officials, ensuring appropriate support and funding for their critical contributions to the healthcare system.
