• Telephone and WhatsApp: +39 328 563 6845
• Editorial manager of the website: Mariangela Allegrini
• Sector of activity: non-medical healthcare (speech and language therapy)

This website is operated for the purposes of the owner’s professional activity and does not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of Article 1336 of the Italian Civil Code. The information published is indicative in nature and may be updated at any time without prior notice.

2. Nature of the professional activity

The activity carried out by the owner is a non-medical healthcare profession, governed by Italian Law No. 42 of 26 February 1999 and by the professional profile of the speech and language therapist (Decree of the Italian Minister of Health No. 742 of 14 September 1994). The practice carries out assessment, habilitation, rehabilitation and speech and language therapy intervention.

Under the legislation in force concerning healthcare professions, medical diagnosis is the exclusive responsibility of a doctor. The speech and language therapist carries out assessments within the scope of their professional competence, where appropriate in collaboration with the doctor (general practitioner, child neuropsychiatrist, ear, nose and throat specialist, orthodontist, phoniatrician), who remains responsible for the clinical diagnosis. The terms “assessment”, “pathway” and “intervention” used on the website are to be understood in this technical and professional sense, distinct from the medical notion of “diagnosis” and “therapy”.

3. Editorial responsibility and informational content

The content published on the website is prepared by the owner and by the editorial manager identified in paragraph 1, on the basis of professional guidance and the technical and scientific knowledge considered accurate at the time of publication. The owner takes diligent care to keep the content up to date, but does not guarantee in absolute terms the accuracy, completeness and currency of each individual piece of information published.

The content of the website is purely informative and educational in nature. The information published (articles, FAQs, service descriptions, blog content) does not constitute and cannot be understood as:

• medical diagnoses;
• personalised speech and language therapy diagnoses;
• therapeutic prescriptions;
• individual professional advice in the absence of a direct assessment at the practice.

Where there is a clinical situation or a concern about the health, language, learning or swallowing of a child or adult, you are always advised to consult your general practitioner, paediatrician or a qualified specialist and, where appropriate, to request a direct speech and language therapy assessment from the Owner or another qualified speech and language therapist.

For the areas of the website containing editorial content (in-depth articles, blog), the editorial manager ensures compliance with the applicable legislation on the press, freedom of expression and the protection of the rights of third parties, with particular reference to the legislation on defamation, on intellectual property and to the professional ethics principles of the relevant healthcare profession.
