The Irish Association of Speech & Language Therapists (IASLT) is the recognised professional body representing Speech & Language Therapists in Ireland. IASLT's mission is to support and empower SLTs through setting standards, informing policy and service delivery, fostering excellence in professional practice, advancing science and advocating for members and those they serve. IASLT strives to provide up-to-date information for the general public to aid in the understanding of disorders of communication and swallowing and to increase awareness of and advocate for Speech and Language Therapy services in Ireland.
