Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) represents a new field of work for Speech and Language Pathologists (SLPs) in Chile. In the fifth region of Valparaíso-Chile, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other institutions coexist and the CBR represents a framework of action for professional work. To date and from SLP, the theoretical-practical management of professionals working in this field has not been described. The objective of this research was to describe the knowledge that SLPs have regarding the CBR strategy and how this knowledge fits their professional practice. Parallel convergent study based on a cross-sectional observational-descriptive study, complemented by a participatory diagnosis. Twenty-two percent of the informants reported that the institutions where they work are aligned with CBR, 78% have contracts of less than 12 hours per week and 83% consider that their workday does not allow them to carry out actions related to the strategy. Fifty percent adequately defines the CBR and 88% can identify the pillars of it. Seventy-five percent of those consulted refer to being a health agent as the central axis of their work and 25% report that their responsibilities should focus on the execution of community workshops. The professionals observe the community as “another” to which they healthily assist and declare the need to move towards a paradigm where promotion and prevention dominate. The knowledge of the CBR by SLPs is still intuitive and there is no coherence between the theoretical and practical knowledge declared. It is necessary to strengthen pre and postgraduate training, in order to align the SLPs practice with the international guidelines of the CBR.
