Needs-Based Services

This program was created to encourage and support the development of pro bono programs in speech-language pathology that bridge the gap between the less fortunate with unmet communication needs, and speech-language pathologists who wish to volunteer their services. Well Said: Pro Bono is dedicated to increasing awareness of pro bono activities and encouraging the expansion of pro bono communication services across the country for invididuals who are people in need of a voice.

  1. Must be a resident of Ontario
