| Abstract (English): | Several studies have shown that, in the school setting, speech-language therapy has a significant impact on the detection, promotion and approach to the processes inherent to human communication as a basis for learning, participation, and inclusion. Despite this, recent regulations on education in Colombia do not clearly define the work of these health professionals in this scenario. Considering the above, the objective of this paper was to present a critical analysis of the role of speech-language pathologists in the context of inclusive education in Colombia. The first part of this article analyzes the problems regarding the denomination of speech-language pathology and the relevance of its functions. Then, the role of these professionals in the educational setting is addressed. Finally, some actions are proposed to vindicate the role of speech-language pathologists in equity and inclusion in education in terms of the elimination of environmental barriers and the strengthening of capacities according to the individual characteristics of students.
