- Abstract
Purpose: to study and verify that the phonological disorder is a continuum of language delay, in other words, if children with atypical phonological development previously had some delay in language development. Methods: the data were collected and organized into two groups, Group 1 comprised 10 children with language delay, speech therapy performed for stimulation and progressed after treatment, and then changed to the speech sector. Already Group2 consists of 554 subjects who arrived with phonological features and thus were diagnosed after the evaluations. Results: the findings of this study showed no significant association between sex and diagnosis, and the distribution between boys and girls was similar. In the analysis performed between age of onset of first words were not found significant results. However, the comparison between age of onset of first words and diagnosis were significant result, and the age of onset in the group with language delay, later than in other diagnostic hypotheses. Conclusion: the results of this study support the literature, because the phonological refers to a change in the phonological level only, rather than a continuum of language delay.
