Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this research is to determinate the perception of the parents of students with Autism about the role of the speech therapist, because an enormous lack of knowledge has been evident on the part of different members of the educational communities. Methodology: Using a quantitative paradigm, a non-experimental-cross-sectional design and a descriptive-comparative scope, 30 parents were surveyed, corresponding to 2 groups. The first one were parents of children with Autism and the second one were parents of children without Special Educational Needs. Results: The results indicate that 13,3% believe that the speech therapist doesn’t participate in areas of communication, while 3,3% of parents of children with Autism have the same beliefs. Regarding the support of the speech therapist for development of linguistic and communication skills, 33,3% of parents indicate that this professional is not qualified to develop these skills. Discussion: From this, a generalized lack of knowledge is evident regarding the role of speech therapist in the development of these skills. Conclusions: It is recommended to conduct future research with larger samples and in different educational contexts to confirm and expand the finding of this study.
