O diagnóstico fonoaudiológico na paralisia cerebral: o sujeito entre a fala e a escuta

Abstract

This article highlights the speech and language therapy as a space for listening to the (talking) body of subjects with cerebral palsy and aims to study the case of a teenager in order to establish differential diagnosis, specific to the speech and language therapy field. Data from anamnestic and armed investigations, from preliminary interviews and fragments of speech and language therapy sessions, in which a diary and a board of Supplementary and/or Alternative Communication were used, were analyzed based on the Language Symptoms Organization Model, which gives sustainability to the speech and language diagnosis that, being differential, indicates the direction of treatment.
