Is participation required? Attendance is required, but how you participate is up to you. You’re encouraged to take part in a way that feels comfortable for you. ⸻ What do I need in order to participate? You must be an Ontario resident. You’ll need access to a device with a camera and microphone, such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. You must also complete the registration process, which includes consent and intake forms, prescreen materials, and payment submission. ⸻ Will recordings of the meetings be provided? No. To protect the privacy of all group members, recordings of any kind are not permitted. ⸻ Can I use an alias during group meetings? Yes. Participants are welcome to use an alias during meetings as long as their full legal and preferred names are provided privately on the registration and consent forms. ⸻ What type of materials will be provided? We find adults learn best through practice, not paperwork. Because our workshops emphasize hands-on learning and participation, you may not receive formal slides or lecture-style presentations, but you will receive reference materials for activities and home practice exercises to help you apply what you've learned. ⸻ What if I can’t attend a meeting? Live attendance is required for all meetings. We’re unable to provide refunds or reimbursements for missed sessions. We don't provide recordings. ⸻ Will insurance cover this? Since our workshops are facilitated by Registered Speech-Language Pathologists, Ontario residents can submit their invoices to their insurance provider under speech therapy or paramedical services. We recommend confirming details directly with your provider, as coverage varies. We do not offer direct billing, and OHIP does not cover Speech-Language Pathology services.
