ABSTRACT
Providing a comprehensive overview of speech and language therapy (SLT) services and their development in a country as diverse as Switzerland, with its four national languages (German, French, Italian and Rumantsch) and its 26 different cantonal regulations, is not an easy task. In the following, we will nevertheless attempt to give a flavour of the different ways in which oral language impairments/developmental language disorders (DLD) in children have been managed in Switzerland over the last century, and are being managed today.
