CASLPO stands for the College of Audiologists and Speech-language Pathologists of Ontario. Membership of CASLPO is compulsory for any audiologist or speech-language pathologist who wishes to practise in Ontario. CASLPO is granted the authority under the Regulated Health Professions Act and the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Act of 1991 to do the following: • Establish the levels of education required to be an audiologist. This includes reviewing and verifying that University degree programmes cover the core competencies required to be an audiologist. • Provide compulsory quality assurance programmes for members. This includes compulsory requirements for ongoing professional development to ensure your audiologist is up to date with the most recent technological advances. • Establish professional and ethical standards for audiologists. These standards cover issues of professional relations, best test practices, service delivery, hygiene, confidentiality, and all other aspects of audiology best practice. • Provide transparent complaint and discipline processes to ensure its members maintain the highest professional standards. The authority granted to the College under provincial law requires the college to place the health and safety of the public at the forefront of its obligations. In other words, CASLPO works hard to ensure only the very best audiologists are working for your hearing care. Our support team includes Hearing Instrument Specialists who provide invaluable support for our audiologists. Our hearing instrument specialists bring additional expertise in the field of hearing aid technology and hearing testing, and are active members of the Association of Hearing Instrument Practitioners, Ontario (AHIP).
