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 ...
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...
O artigo pretende caracterizar o nível de consciência morfológica no 1º ciclo e analisar a possível relação entre a consciência morfológica e a leitura e escrita. A amostra é constituída por 20 crianças, que frequentam o 2º (n=10) e o 4º ano de escolaridade (n=10). A recolha de dados foi realizada através da Grelha de Avaliação da Linguagem - Nível Escolar, da Bateria de Avaliação da Consciência Morfológica, da...

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...
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....
Purpose: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) frequently face pragmatic impairments which may result in learning, socialization, and mental health difficulties, therefore early intervention is crucial. In Portugal, the Pragmatic Intervention Programme (PICP) has been recently developed and validated, but its effects are unknown. This study aims to determine the ...
