This year, European SLT Day focuses on how artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of speech and language therapy. Across Europe, speech and language therapists are exploring how emerging technologies can support assessment, intervention, and access to care while maintaining the human connection that lies at the heart of our profession.

 

 

AI has the potential to enhance clinical practice, support innovation, and expand services to people with communication and swallowing needs. At the same time, it invites important discussions about ethics, professional responsibility, and the role of therapists in an evolving digital landscape.

 

 

On European SLT Day, we celebrate the expertise of speech and language therapists and reflect on how new technologies can work alongside our knowledge, compassion, and clinical judgement to strengthen the future of the profession.
