Bachelor
L/SNT2 - Health professions for rehabilitation
The main goal of the degree programme is to train future speech and language therapists who will have the intellectual, gestural, communication and interpersonal skills needed to practise this profession, as provided for by the Professional Profile, Code of Ethics, Core Competence and Core Curriculum of the speech and language therapist.
To this end, the degree programme equips students with contents, methods and tools, to enable them to acquire, reinforce and responsibly and autonomously apply the following knowledge and skills:
- advanced theoretical knowledge, resulting from a critical understanding of the principles of speech and language therapy;
- practical skills to perform the responsibilities of speech and language therapists (prevention, observation, evaluation, comprehensive assessment, counselling, treatment, speech habilitation, rehabilitation, education and re-education, as well as monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of interventions and adjusting them accordingly);
- communication and interpersonal skills to responsibly manage therapeutic relationships, work in an interdisciplinary team, and treat a number of conditions affecting communication (verbal and non-verbal), speech (oral and written), voice, articulation, oral functions and swallowing, cognitive and frontal lobe functions, in children, adults and the elderly, through interventions aimed at individual patients or the larger community.
By the end of the degree programme, graduates in Speech and Language Therapy will have acquired knowledge and understanding in the following areas: professional liability, treatment and rehabilitation, therapeutic education, prevention, management, training and self-training, evidence-based clinical practice and research.
Moreover, they will be able to apply the acquired knowledge and understanding to build a rehabilitation setting for therapeutic treatment, and ultimately to perform a whole set of interrelated activities directed to the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of speech sound, swallowing, language and communication disorders in children, adults and elderly patients.
Notably, graduates in Speech and Language Therapy will be able to:
1. integrate their biomedical and clinical knowledge and overall expertise in applied rehabilitation and speech therapy to identify the health needs of patients and plan their treatment pathway;
2. communicate and engage with patients in a way that is appropriate to the context, while respecting their privacy and the principle of professional secrecy;
3. combine the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during the programme in order to implement safe, effective and evidence-based rehabilitation interventions;
4. provide educational interventions by identifying, analysing and meeting the health needs of individual patients and the community;
5. promote and implement preventive interventions by using screening tools for the early detection of speech sound, swallowing, language and communication disorders;
6. determine and promote best practices in terms of compensation strategies and behaviours to change or reduce the level of disability;
7. conduct clinical interviews with a view to collecting and interpreting data in order to identify the patient's speech sound, swallowing, language and communication characteristics;
8. draw on the principles of speech sound and language production, communication and swallowing to evaluate these abilities in patients;
9. apply evidence-based clinical data and standardised assessment tools to plan educational rehabilitation models for the prevention and treatment of speech and language disorders in patients of all age groups;
10. adopt specific tools and procedures for the evaluation and comprehensive assessment of speech and language disorders in patients of all age groups;
11. design, develop and implement therapeutic and rehabilitation plans with measurable and achievable objectives, considering the patient's age, language and cultural background;
12. contribute to drafting and implementing the rehabilitation plan;
13. organise and carry out the rehabilitation programme to achieve the therapeutic goals;
14. monitor adherence to the rehabilitation programme, as well as its outcome, in an ecological perspective;
15. measure and assess the patient's performance, in collaboration with the other members of the interdisciplinary team, so as to monitor and adjust the therapeutic plan according to the patient's needs;
16. provide speech and language therapy services in accordance with the highest quality standards, taking into account legal and ethical implications as well as the patient's rights;
17. analyse research findings in speech and language therapy and apply them to professional practice.

Graduates of this degree programme are qualified to practice as speech and language therapists, i.e. healthcare professionals carrying out the activities described below (as provided for by the Decree of the Ministry of Health no. 742 dated 14 September 1994, as subsequently amended and supplemented).
1. They provide prevention and rehabilitation services to children, adults and elderly patients suffering from language, communication and oral functions disorders, and treat all conditions that may cause voice, speech and language impairments (in terms of both oral and written production), as well as communication deficits;
2. With regard to disabled patients, they conduct a comprehensive assessment in order to identify and address the patient's needs in terms of speech and language therapy (sometimes within multidisciplinary teams), taking into account the diagnosis and prescriptions made by the supervising physician;
3. They autonomously provide functional rehabilitation to patients with communication and cognitive disabilities, using habilitation and rehabilitation therapies to improve verbal and non-verbal communication and language;
4. They recommend the use of specific aids, train patients in their use, and verify their effectiveness;
5. They do research and consulting for healthcare services and in other settings where their skills are in demand;
6. They assess the extent to which the applied rehabilitation method has been effective in achieving the functional recovery goals set for the patient;
7. They work in public or private healthcare facilities, as employees or independent professionals.
Speech and language therapists can work for healthcare facilities within the National Health System, as employees or independent professionals.
Professional opportunities can also be found at private and affiliated facilities, clinics and rehabilitation centres, educational facilities, assisted living facilities, multidisciplinary health centres, and service cooperatives. Alternatively, they may decide to start their own speech therapy practice, alone or in partnership with other professionals. Speech and language therapists can also do research and consulting in all those situations where their competences are in demand. To be qualified to teach, graduates must first obtain a Master's degree, which is the most obvious option for those who wish to pursue further studies (the other being first-level vocational masters).
