Rethinking access – flexible service delivery in a changing landscape

2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Presentation summary

This panel invites a dynamic conversation about how speech pathologists are reimagining service delivery to improve access, responsiveness, and outcomes—particularly in the face of workforce pressures and long waiting lists.

Panellists will share practical examples of flexible models, including the use of technology, innovative scheduling, and collaborative approaches. With contributions from a range of practice settings and input from the audience, this session will explore what it takes to deliver services in ways that are adaptable, equitable, and impactful.
