Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists

What Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists does

The Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists (IASLT), operating as The Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists CLG, is the formally recognised professional body representing Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) in the Republic of Ireland. Headquartered at 51 Bracken Rd., Sandyford, Dublin, the association is structured as a Company Limited by Guarantee and is governed by a Board of Directors. Its mission centres on setting professional standards, informing health policy and service delivery, fostering excellence in clinical practice, advancing the science of the profession, and advocating both for its members and for people with communication and swallowing difficulties.

IASLT's core offering is a tiered membership programme (Full, New Graduate, Student, Provisional, Non-Practising/Retired, International Affiliate, and Members with Honours) with annual dues ranging from €20 (Student) to €175 (Full/Provisional). Revenue is supplemented by advertising on the website and job board, paid CPD webinars, and sponsorship of the biennial conference (Conference 2026 held in Portlaoise). The go-to-market is sales-led and digital-first: members self-register through the iaslt.ie portal, with engagement reinforced via a monthly newsletter, the 'IASLT in Conversation' podcast, Special Interest Groups, recorded CPD webinars, and a CPD Portfolio tool that supports CORU registration requirements.

The underlying platform is non-technological: it consists of a member portal, content libraries (clinical guidelines, position papers, journals including the Journal of Clinical Speech and Language Studies), and event/conference infrastructure. There are no disclosed AI, API, SDK, or mobile app products. Strategic partnerships span international SLT bodies (ESLA, IALP, ICP) for Mutual Recognition Agreements, an insurance partnership with Arachas, and conference sponsorships with Nutricia, Constellation Healthcare, and Tobii Dynavox. Recent strategic actions include the retirement of the IASLT CPD Standards and Audit process in favour of integrating expectations into the Scope of Practice, and the launch of clinical resources such as the Irish Message Banking Toolkit.

Others

• CORU: Ireland's multi-profession health and social care regulator, with which SLTs must register to practise. Comparable only as an adjacent ecosystem participant; not a direct peer (regulator rather than membership body) but materially shapes IASLT's operating environment.
• Psychological Society of Ireland: The learned and professional body for psychology in Ireland, providing membership, professional standards, and CPD. Comparable to IASLT as a similarly structured Irish professional membership organisation in an adjacent health discipline.
• Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists: Ireland's national professional body representing chartered physiotherapists, structured as a membership organisation with similar advocacy, CPD, and member-service functions. Comparable as a similarly-sized Irish allied-health professional association.
• International Association of Communication Science and Disorders: The international umbrella organisation for communication science and disorders professionals, of which IASLT is already an affiliate. It is comparable as a peer/professional association but operates at a global rather than national level.

Direct peers

• Speech Pathology Australia: Australia's national peak body for speech pathologists, providing membership, professional standards, advocacy, and CPD. It is highly comparable to IASLT in mission and operating model, serving a similar-sized professional population.
• Speech-Language and Audiology Canada: The national professional association supporting speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and communication health assistants in Canada. Comparable to IASLT as a member-driven body delivering certification support, CPD, and advocacy for the SLT profession.
• New Zealand Speech-language Therapists' Association: The recognised professional association for speech-language therapists in New Zealand, offering membership, professional standards, and CPD. Directly comparable to IASLT in size, structure, and scope of services.
• American Speech-Language-Hearing Association: The US national professional, scientific, and credentialing body for audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and speech/language/hearing researchers. It mirrors IASLT's role of setting standards, providing CE, and representing the profession, though at significantly larger scale.
• Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists: The recognised professional body for speech and language therapists in the United Kingdom, operating as a membership organisation with CPD, publications, and advocacy. It is the most direct international counterpart to IASLT in scope, structure, and member services.

Regional players

• European Speech and Language Association: The European-level professional association for speech and language therapy, with IASLT as an affiliated member. It is comparable as a peer organisation but serves a regional multi-country remit rather than competing directly with IASLT in Ireland.
