Testimonial from Maciel Pereda – past SLP at SPCDC:

"My first job as an SLP was at South Peace CDC. This experience significantly shaped my skills as a clinician and my understanding of child development and family dynamics. The support from a transdisciplinary team fostered a holistic approach to seeing children and families, beyond traditional speech and language domains. This role is ideal for new SLPs seeking foundational knowledge or experienced clinicians looking to expand their expertise."
