Who is S.L. HUNTER & Associates?

S.L. HUNTER & Associates is a private practice comprised of an owner, Independent Contractor Speech-Language Pathologists, employed Communication Disorders Assistants, and additional office employees. We utilize a number of consultants that may, in the course of their duties, have limited access to personal information we hold. These include: business consultants; a bookkeeper; accountant; office maintenance; computer consultant; temporary workers to cover holidays; cleaners; equipment & systems service workers (e.g. equipment repair or telephone system repair); and lawyers. Their access to personal information is restricted as much as is reasonably possible and we have their assurance that they follow appropriate privacy principles.

In addition, our facility may on occasion have volunteers or student placements on site. Students may be high school coop placements or may be students from Speech-Language Pathology programs who are involved in client care under the close supervision of the assigned clinician. During their participation with us, these students would have access to any client information that would be relevant to their role in providing supervised care to these clients.
