Working as a speech and language therapist in France
Orthophoniste is a regulated health profession in France. You need the Certificat de capacité d'orthophoniste, a five-year university programme, or an authorisation to practise if you trained abroad, including as a logopède in Belgium or Switzerland. Treatment is prescribed by a doctor and reimbursed by the Assurance maladie, and most orthophonistes work in private practice. Near-native French is required since assessments are standardised in French. Search for « orthophoniste », « orthophoniste remplaçant », « orthophoniste salarié » or « orthophoniste en libéral ».
