YDAC fosters strong ties with university and college programs, particularly in the Speech & Language disciplines. The presence of students in our communication groups lends new insights and fresh perspectives to our programs. In turn, students have an opportunity to gain practical experience and broaden their knowledge of aphasia and other communication disorders.

YDAC has 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, YDAC has offered 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 YDAC, contact the placement co-ordinator at your school. Note that YDAC limits the number of placements, based on availability of supervising staff.
