Relationship between the emotional intelligence of students in the Speech Therapy program and the graduate’s competencies

The questionnaire was administered to 93 students of the Art Therapy curricular unit of the speech therapy program at the University of Guayaquil between October 2023 and October 2024. The results show that the dimensions of emotional intelligence in students are unevenly distributed, so there are areas that require intervention to strengthen the professional profile of
these future therapists. These focused on improving the ability to counsel patients and families, manage multidisciplinary teams, and apply personalized therapie
