Abstract:

Group work adoption in health services has increased in the last decades. The objective of the present study is to describe the contribution of a group therapy approach to language assessment of 1:9 to 3:0 yr children within a sociointeractionist framework. The participants were nine children, assessed in three groups of three participants (G1 and G2 – children with language alterations complaints, G3 – children without language complaints). For each group, four 30 to 60 minutes filmed meetings were carried out. The videos and the field notes were analyzed, focusing the participation of the children and their verbal and nonverbal language. The detailed analysis of G2, presented in the present paper, indicated growing verbal production and amplification of linguistic functions along the sessions. The nonverbal aspects contributed to the identification of relevant elements of language, especially in the pragmatic level. The context of play and interaction in the group, and even some disputes for objects, propitiated the detection of those different aspects of language. The described proposal of assessment allowed the observation of children language in their live exercise and constituted a comprehensive model of approach to the different aspects of language, in meaningful contexts of interaction.
