This is a cross-sectional study of qualitative and quantitative approach in view of the instruments chosen for the collection of data which will be exploratory-descriptive research. The data collection took place from online quizzes created in Google DocsOffline®,, for each of the specific professional areas and also from the analysis of the teaching designs of graduation courses in physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy, in the South region, available online. For the data analysis we used the descriptive analysis of the studied variables and Chi-square test of Pearson. Also content analysis was used for the open questions. The results found by analyzing the training of physiotherapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists regarding interdisciplinary character experiences during undergraduate studies have shown that this is not a recurring theme for all professionals, showing that their absence in the period of formation interferes with the recognition of other assignments in addition to specialties make it difficult for professionals, during practice, the recognition of the need for other professional and need to make referrals. The analysis of the educational projects of the courses and the perception of the coordinators of the courses of the studied areas identified that such actions, at graduation, happen in elective courses, extension projects or research, not being mandatory in character and therefore not part of the education of all students. The second time, by analyzing the perception of physiotherapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists on the exercise of the interdisciplinarity in their professional practice it has been observed that these professionals recognize the importance of interdisciplinarity in the area, however not all perform interdisciplinary actions in your daily work. This happens due to a lack of professionals in the workplace, but also by the ignorance about the assignments of some professionals. In relation to the importance of interdisciplinary care to Human Communication Disorders found that professionals are aware and recognize that the subject attended both by physical therapy, and speech therapy and occupational therapy require an integral vision and not just look at its pathology. Given this, it is possible to point out the need for initial training that addresses the interdisciplinarity in health care and to prepare professionals to practice based on an interdisciplinary context. Highlights the importance of teachers sensitized and concerned to propose actions of interdisciplinary character to form professionals to develop the practice based on interdisciplinary logic.
