The Association
Introduction
The Association of Speech-Language Pathologists MALTA was launched in 1985 and was immediately recognised as a professional association by the Federation of Professional Bodies.
It was set up with four main aims which are still valid today safeguarding the profession and professional code of ethics, keeping up with standards and current developments and creating public awareness.
The first committee was made up of almost all the Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) in Malta, at that time, referred to s Speech Therapists. Over the past twenty years, as the number of qualified SLPs increased, the association has kept growing and developing to meet current challenges.
