Exploring the effectiveness of the Pragmatic Intervention Programme (PICP) with...

Using language for social purposes can be a real challenge for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental language disorder (DLD). Despite the positive effects of the Pragmatic Intervention Programme (PICP) already known in both populations, the effects needed to be established with a larger sample and analysed separately for each condition. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of PI...

The Effects of PROsyntax in Children with Developmental Language Disorder and A...

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and children with development language disorder (DLD) often experience syntactic impairments. It is of the utmost importance to implement evidence-based intervention at the earliest possible stage to mitigate the adverse effects of these difficulties. Internationally, several programs are supported by scientific evidence. In Portugal, there are currently only two int...

(RE)CONTO: Tool to Assess Oral Narratives in European Portuguese-speaking Children

Narrative competencies are determinant for the academic success of children and adolescents. The assessment of these competencies – including comprehension and production – is important to complement the diagnosis of children with language impairment, and to plan interventions in clinical and educational contexts. We present in this paper a tool to assess narrative competencies developed for children aged 6 to ...

The Impact of Morphological Awareness on Reading and Spelling

Morphological awareness is characterized by the ability to intentionally reflect and manipulate morphemes. The present study aimed to characterize the development of morphological awareness in school-age children and to analyze its impact on reading and spelling. The sample was comprised of 60 children with typical language development in Portuguese primary schools with a mean age of 8.6 (standard deviation = 0...

Efeitos do INsyntax em crianças com perturbação do espetro do autismo

Introdução: A Perturbação do Espetro do Autismo (PEA) é uma perturbação do neurodesenvolvimento que se carateriza por um conjunto de dificuldades na comunicação e interação social, associada a comportamentos repetitivos e interesses restritos (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Os estudos nas dificuldades linguísticas associadas à PEA, anteriormente consideradas circunscritas à área da pragmática, têm des...

Explicit instructions do not enhance auditory statistical learning in children ...

A current issue in psycholinguistic research is whether the language difficulties exhibited by children with developmental language disorder [DLD, previously labeled specific language impairment (SLI)] are due to deficits in their abilities to pick up patterns in the sensory environment, an ability known as statistical learning (SL), and the extent to which explicit learning mechanisms can be used to compensate...

Phonological awareness digital program: a randomized controlled study

The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy of the Phonological Awareness Digital Program (PADP) in typically developing preschool children aged 4 to 6 years. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with a total of 49 children assigned to two groups: the experimental group, EG (n=25) and the delayed control group, CG (n=24). Both groups were assessed before and after the implementation of the PADP....
