The professional competence of speech therapists. IV: attitude and attribute base

This paper reports on an empirical study of the attitude and attribute base of speech therapy. This is the final part of a four-part report on a study of the professional competence of speech therapists. The consultative methods used in this study combined the Delphi and Nominal Group techniques with a postal questionnaire survey of specialist clinicians in the UK, the details of which are reported elsewhere. The present discussion of the attitude base of speech therapy concluded that there was a strong consensus of agreement amongst speech therapists on the attitudes and attributes considered essential to professional competence. However, it would appear that these attitudes and attributes are not exclusive to speech therapists, but are common to many professional groups.
