Estudio de caso:: Intervención a una persona con dificultades en el lenguaje a nivel preescolar

Abstract

Language is considered a complex cognitive process that requires timely development and early stimulation because it is a foundational factor for learning and is crucial in the communication skills of children. The present case study describes the assessment and intervention process of a four years- old child who had a diagnosis of Specific Language Impairment (SLI) that affected significantly her language skills. The intervention process included speech and language treatment as well as academic support. Mixed Strategies were included in the intervention plan. Despite the intervention was implemented in a short time (24 sessions), results showed positive outcomes both in language development and autonomy. This case allows identifying the relevance of a timely and collaborative strategy in the presence of language difficulties. Findings and implications for practice are discussed.
