Congratulations to the recipients of the OOAQ-REPAR research partnership scholarships!

The research partnership program between the Ordre des orthophonistes et audiologistes du Québec (OOAQ) and the Réseau provincial de recherche en adaptation-réadaptation (REPAR) of the Fonds de recherche du Québec-Santé (FRQ-S) encourages research projects in speech-language pathology and audiology aimed at improving clinical practice and the quality of services to the population in the field of communication disorders. In 2023, this partnership made it possible to award two grants worth $15,000 each.

The winning projects are :

  • Myriam Breton and Vincent Martel-Sauvageau, speech-language pathologists, for their project État des besoins orthophoniques et de la prise en charge des personnes atteintes de la COVID longue au Québec : vers l’établissement de recommandations provines adaptées aux besoins orthophoniques de cette clientèle. (State of speech-language pathology needs and management of people with long-onset COVID in Quebec: towards the establishment of provincial recommendations adapted to the speech-language pathology needs of this clientele.)
  • Claudia Côté and Philippe Fournier, audiologists, for their Projet d’amélioration des outils d’évaluation clinique de l’hyperacousie et de la misophonie au Québec. (Project to improve clinical assessment tools for hyperacusis and misophonia in Quebec.)

Find out more about these two projects, we invite you to view a video produced in conjunction with the award ceremony, featuring a discussion with Paul-André Gallant, President of the OOAQ.
