In Ontario they are a regulated profession. They can use screening tools and provide therapy, prepare materials, provide education. The biggest thing I think that differs from SLPs is they cannot do assessment or interpret assessments.

A speech pathologist assistant helps a speech pathologist in helping clients with communication, speech, language, or swallowing issues. They mostly aid with therapy and help clients practice speech pathologist-recommended skills.
Speech pathologists mostly examine and plan therapy initially. The assistant implements aspects of the strategy during therapy. This may include guiding speech sound exercises, helping children perform language tasks, supporting communication exercises, or designing therapy materials.
They also aid with session setup, progress note recording, and client support in schools, clinics, and communities. The certified and experienced speech pathologist diagnoses and plans treatment, not the helper.
Speech pathologist assistants offers National Disability Insurance Scheme participants in Connect2Care as part of a therapy team. Therapy is more accessible and clients receive ongoing support between sessions thanks to them.
Speech pathologist assistants make therapy programmes operate smoothly and give clients additional chances to practice and enhance their communication abilities.
