RESULTS: In the EPOJÉ phase, the INVIVO coding of 24 interviews was carried out in the Atlas.ti Software, which allows the analysis and qualitative interpretation of the information provided by the social actors, where a total of 500 codes were obtained. Subsequently, for the TRANSCENDENTAL REDUCTION phase, the data were analyzed, obtaining for this moment a total of 330 codes and in the second moment, statistical procedures were applied permanently eliminating the Noesis that were not linked to the central axis due to their low intentionality, for a total of 313 codes specified in the SYNTHESIS. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION: It is based on the transcendental phenomenology that allows to perceive and describe the intentions of the End Users in the face of the phenomenon of the professional competences of the speech therapist, reflected in the nine resulting noemas, which describe the depth of the comings, thoughts and meanings granted by End Users. CONCLUSIONS: End users recognize that the role of the speech therapist is essential and that in turn they must form a team with therapeutic disciplines, promoting comprehensive care and guaranteeing positive advances in their families.
