The speech therapist is in charge of preventing, correcting and / or compensating for language and communication disorders. The initial training of the speech pathologist requires professional pedagogical skills that students must develop during the career to diagnose communication disorders and direct the process of speech care in any educational context. The objective of this article is to analyze the stages through which this specialist's training has passed and how the development of skills has behaved from its beginnings to the present, in addition to offering recommendations for methodological work in the discipline of Speech Therapy and in Investigative Labor Training, as a result of the research carried out by the career collective in Pinar del Río that has been validated and generalized by the National Career Commission. Historical-logical research methods were used, as well as content analysis, systematization, observation and interviews, which made it possible to determine the significant features and main regularities in relation to the development of professional pedagogical skills in the training of speech therapists.
