It is recognised as a professional qualification in Directive 2005/36/EC (7 September 2005) of the European Parliament and the Council, on the recognition of professional qualifications.

Speech and language therapy professionals carry out prevention activities, evaluation of and recuperation from hearing, speech, and language disorders by applying the therapeutic techniques of the discipline.

5. Understand and use the evaluation and diagnostic procedures, techniques and tools for interventions and predict the evolution of disorders pertaining to communication, language, speech, hearing, voice, and non-verbal oral functions from a multidisciplinary perspective.
6. Prepare and write reports pertaining to examination and diagnosis, monitoring, completion, and referral. Graduates will be able to explain and justify the treatment selected. They will also be aware of the limits of the profession and their skills, and they will be able to perceive when an interdisciplinary treatment or referral to another professional is required.
