The College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario alleged that the registrant, a speech-language pathologist working as a care co-ordinator, engaged in professional misconduct.

The parties proceeded on an agreed statement of facts, admitting that the registrant failed to maintain standards of practice, did not adequately document her findings, and failed to obtain informed consent.

The Discipline Tribunal found the registrant committed professional misconduct.

The Tribunal accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a two-month suspension, a reprimand, completion of a course on informed consent, a mentorship program, and $2,000 in costs.
