Megan Wood Pagonis, M.Sc. SLP(C) reg. CASLPO, has been practising as a registered and certified speech-language pathologist since 2006. She has extensive experience working within the mandate of both the CCAC, as well as within FSCO guidelines for MVA injuries.

She also is an Individual Authorizer (IA) for the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) for communication devices and software – this includes extensive experience working with non-verbal clients to develop communication systems, both high and low tech.
Megan has obtained numerous continuing education credits, including those recommended by the Ontario Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (OSLA) for work with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). During her years of experience she has been active in treating clients under FSCO guidelines, as well as performed Independent Evaluations (IE’s).
