Proposta integrativa de avaliação em linguagem na clínica fonoaudiológica baseada em evidências

Abstract

This study emerged from the identification that the speech and language assessment protocols currently used in the speech therapy clinic do not present the necessary flexibility to cover the daily uses of language and do not contemplate the linguistic diversity of Brazilian Portuguese, seeking a proposal socially sensitive. AIM: To describe an integrative language assessment proposal that allows the use of technology and interaction, with the use of updated images and based on protocols already accepted and validated in clinical speech therapy, with the inclusion of language processes as language variation and/or hyperonyms. METHOD: Initially, word lists in semantic categories were developed from the intersection between the items found in the Child Phonological Assessment (YAVAS; HERNANDORENA; LAMPRECHT, 1991) and ABFW (ANDRADE et al., 2004) protocols. RESULTS: From the lists, prototypes of scenarios were created containing such items (words) in context and that will soon enable the virtual creation and, consequently, the gamification of scenarios that will make up an application to be used in the clinical practice of the evaluation speech therapy of child language. CONCLUSION: It was noticed that the clinical assessment of child language through software (gamification) is a possible proposal and is based on scientific evidence. However, it is important that there be cultural adaptations from a multicultural perspective of each location, in this case, Brazil
