Abstract

This article describes the results obtained in a pilot study addressing dyspraxia in the speech and language field in Romania. The main objectives of this study is to establish if dyspraxia is a frequent diagnosis in speech and language therapy, to underline if this diagnosis is just a specifier in a wider range of disorders or disabilities and to underline if there is a need to address this diagnosis during the initial training and continuous professional development for Romanian speech and language therapists. Results proved that there are no differences in approaching this diagnosis in our country comparing with data from abroad, except regarding the need for speech and language specialists initial training and continuous professional development in this specific area.
