This video is a finalist in the What the heck is rehab? video contest at the University of Alberta Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine
By MSc SLP students Christina O’Dell, Candace Brown, Sable Chan and Salima Suleman
Salima in her own words:
My friends, Candace Brown, Sable Chan, Christina O’Dell, and I, put together Tongue Talk for a competition hosted by the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Alberta. All four of us are graduate students in the Department of Speech and Language Pathology and Audiology. Speech-Language Pathology is an often misunderstood field and we work with a very diverse population with a variety of speech, language and communication needs. We wanted to take the opportunity to spread the word about our profession and what we do. We are thrilled with how quickly the video is spreading. Candace has a background in Psychology and Linguistics and comes from British Colombia, Sable Chan specialized in Biology and Christina O’Dell was a history major in their undergraduate degrees and both of them are from Edmonton, Alberta. I have a Bachelors of Education granted from the University of Alberta which I received in 2009.
