ABOUT ME
Welcome to my private practice!
Who am I?
My name is Amanda Ho. I am a speech-language pathologist registered with the College of Audiologists and Speech- Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) and with Speech-Language and Audiology Canada (SAC).
​
My career choice in speech-language pathology is inspired by my endeavour to understand the impact of communication challenges on children, adults, and their families. During the completion of my academic and clinical work, I began appreciating seemingly simple aspects of life, such as the capacity to exchange ideas, feelings, and intentions with relative ease.
​
My Experiences
I initially completed my Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Cognitive Science of Language at McMaster University, where I investigated communication in the form of language acquisition. More specifically, I studied event-related potentials (ERPs) in Mandarin tonal language processing. This research was later published in August 2019. You can read about this work in more detail here!
​
Following my first masters degree, I completed my Master of Health Science (M.H.Sc.) degree in speech-language pathology at the University of Toronto, where I integrated my knowledge in research with clinical practice. I am passionate about providing evidence-based practice to my clients. Since then, I've worked with children and adults in private and public settings in the areas of speech, language, fluency, cognitive communication, and feeding/swallowing.
