Summary/Abstract: This article describes a research study developed during the webinar organized in order to celebrate 6th of March as European Day of Speech & Language Therapy. In this research participatedRomanian SLTs (N=150). The research was based on the following objectives: to identify thetypology of the present used resources in the Romanian SLT field; to implement the Padlet as a toolfor collecting and sharing data and to identify the area of resources that has to be developed. Resultsdemonstrated that SLTs mainly use virtual resources (VR=106) in their present work and that materialresources that can be used online is the less detailed and mentioned category (MRV=17). The thirdcategory of resources is the category of material resources (MR), those that are to be used mainlyduring face-to-face SLT therapy. This category is represented by a relatively low number of units,compared with VR (MR=61). Regarding the use of Padlet, we consider that this focused-groupbased research was enhanced with success, participants in the research, even if they were anumerous group, and the research was developed online, had the chance to express their points ofview, without difficulties.
