Who we are and What we stand for

​

​

The GSLT is a supportive body that regulate speech and language therapists by providing  leadership, support and mediation; facilitates research and promotes education in speech and language therapy development, and able to assist with complaints brought against individual speech and language therapist.

​

Speech and language therapists (SLTs) are allied health professionals. They work with parents, and other professionals, such as teachers, nurses, occupational therapists and doctors in a variety of settings.

​

Ghana boasts of only a handful of SLTs serving over 25 million people whereas on the international front, there are around 17,000 practising SLTs in the UK alone working in a variety of settings. This is not a healthy balance for our nation 60 years on.

​

In this regard, GSLT is not only formed as a professional body for SLTs and support workers, but also formed to give guidance and support to Ghanaian youth who desire to venture into this area as a career choice to help in bridging the wide gap for nation building.
