York-Durham Aphasia Centre fosters strong ties with university and college programs. Students in our communication groups lend new insights and fresh perspectives to our programs. In turn, those students have an opportunity to gain practical experience and broaden their knowledge of aphasia and other communication disorders.
Our programs have been pleased to provide frequent, ongoing placement opportunities to students from:
- Speech Language Pathology (S.L.P) Masters programs at the University of Toronto & the University of Western Ontario
- Communicative Disorders Programs (C.D.A). post-degree programs at Georgian College, Barrie and Durham College, Oshawa
In addition, we offer occasional placement opportunities to students in other programs, including:
- Nursing
- Therapeutic recreation
- Social Work
- High-school co-op programs
To enquire about student placement opportunities with York-Durham Aphasia Centre, contact the placement coordinator at your school. The number of placements available is limited, based on availability of supervising staff.
