AB  - The article deals with an analysis focused on the expectations and attitudes to the diagnostics and intervention for people with symptomatic speech disorders, with an emphasis on the autism spectrum disorders, from the point of view of the education of students of speech and language therapy (logopaedics) as a part of the special education study programme. Special attention is paid to overlapping with the assessment of the pragmatic language level of communication and influencing it through speech and language therapy approaches. The connection with the modern concept of speech and language therapy in the pro-inclusive approach as well as in the context of preparation for collaborative transdisciplinary practice is discussed.
