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.

Following a finding of professional misconduct for failing to meet record-keeping requirements, the Discipline Tribunal held a penalty and costs hearing.

The College sought a three-month suspension and $180,049.55 in costs, while the registrant argued against a suspension and submitted the costs request was excessive.

The Tribunal ordered a two-and-a-half-month suspension, a reprimand, and remedial record-keeping courses and inspections.

Noting divided success on the merits and the registrant's conduct during the proceedings, the Tribunal awarded the College $90,000 in costs, payable over five years.

The registrant, a speech-language pathologist, admitted to professional misconduct for failing to comply with a previous order of the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (ICRC) requiring practice monitoring.

The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, finding it did not bring the administration of the discipline system into disrepute.

The registrant was reprimanded, suspended for one month, subjected to permanent practice restrictions regarding dysphagia intervention and acute care settings, and ordered to pay $2,000 in costs.
