Summary/Abstract: The present research starts from the idea of preventing language disorders from an early age, given the resultsof previous research on the effectiveness of early interventions.Following a preliminary documentation that consisted in the study of Romanian legislation, specializedliterature, speech therapy aids, speech therapy software, sites with medical profile and special pedagogy, it wasfound an insufficient approach to prevention and we wanted to investigate what activities speech therapyteachers consider to be included in the concept of prevention. We also sought to find out to what extent speechtherapists take into account the prevention part and what activities they carry out for this purpose. The resultswere limited and we see them from at least two perspectives: the small group of participants that led to limiteddata and the absence or quasi-absence of prevention in speech therapy, this being too little described in theliterature and outlined as a methodology in school documents. The most common options chosen by languagetherapists for prevention were to carry out speech therapy activities in prevention groups under the age of 5and to carry out information activities for educators and parents and only then screening activities
