Collaboration across disciplines is essential in psychological practice. This week, Dr. Andrew and Dr. Dave sit down with Ms. Angèle Lamontagne Looy, a speech-language pathologist (SLP), to explore her experiences working with children and adults in rural communities. Together, they discuss the wide-ranging impacts of speech and language challenges from stuttering and pronunciation difficulties to struggles with social communication, and how these issues can affect mental health when left unaddressed. Whether you’re an educator, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this conversation highlights the crucial role of early intervention and the power of interdisciplinary teamwork in supporting communication and well-being.Should you require additional SLP resources, please see below:Speech-Language & Audiology Canadahttps://www.sac-oac.ca/for-the-public/Alberta https://www.acslpa.ca/slp-information/https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/findhealth/service.aspx?Id=7406Private SLP services: https://asapp.caResources:https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Topic/Pediatric-Rehabilitation/Pages/communication.aspxhttps://myhealth.alberta.ca/Topic/Pediatric-Rehabilitation/Pages/talk-box.aspxOntario https://www.caslpo.comhttps://www.firstwords.ca/blog
