Speech therapist – shaping the profession in Poland, speech therapy care in the Ciechanów county

Abstract

In Poland, the profession of a speech therapist already has some traditions. It has existed in our country for nearly 30 years, since it was included in the classifi cation of professions and specialties. The precursors of speech therapists were most often doctors and educators who encountered various problems related to speaking in their daily practice. A modern speech therapist is a competent person with extensive knowledge in many fi elds and various skills to meet the requirements of an increasingly aware society in these matters. This article discusses the most important issues related to this profession. Data on speech therapy care in the Ciechanów county in light of the needs of children at preschool and younger school age, included in the author's doctoral dissertation, have also been provided. The aim of this article is to present the profession of a speech therapist in Poland and the possibilities of obtaining education in this field.
