RESUMO:

There are few studies assessing the speech and language development process of children born small for gestational age, although changes in these areas can entail psychosocial and school problems. Objective: Investigate aspects of oral language in schoolchildren born full-term and small for gestational age and to check whether these findings differ when compared to those found in schoolchildren born appropriate for gestational age. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, with a convenience sample, unpaired and nested in a cohort. Through an interview, information on perinatal and postnatal conditions was collected and participants underwent audiological and aspects of oral language using the ABFW test (2004). The results were assessed by descriptive and analytical analysis, using unpaired t test, Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test, with significance level p <0.05. Results: Article # 1, aimed to conduct a systematic review to verify findings in the literature that specify the association between the term birth of children considered small for gestational age and the outcomes in the development of oral language. The reviewed studies pointed out that being born small for gestational age can interfere with aspects related to language and reported greater chances of underperformance in small for gestational age children when compared to appropriate for gestational age children. In article # 2, the objective was to characterize the use of phonological productive processes in schoolchildren born full-term and small for gestational age. This is an observational, analytical, case-control and non-paired study, nested in a cohort with the outcome of phonological disorder. The small for gestational age group had a greater number of phonological productive processes, not expected for their age and those that change the syllable structure, when compared to the group of children appropriate for gestational age. It was noted that the phonological processes present in the small for gestational age population were: fricative plosivation, liquid simplification, palatal posteriorization and frontalization, plosive and fricative deafening, in addition to simplifying the consonant cluster and simplifying the final consonant, which were the most frequent in both groups. Although no association was found between phonological disorders and small for gestational age children, it was noted a greater use of productive phonological processes in this group. Article # 3, considered a cross-sectional study, typified as analytical, with convenience sampling, unpaired and nested to a cohort, objective to describe the expressive vocabulary performance of schoolchildren born full-term and small for gestational age. The studied population performed below the expected in expressive vocabulary tests, in most of the conceptual surveyed fields, with statistically significant differences in the average occurrences of designation by usual word in the semantic fields of transport facilities and forms and colors, non-designation of the field of foods, furniture and utensils and places and replacement process of the conceptual field of transport facilities. Conclusion: The findings of the articles suggest that children born full-term and small for gestational age are likely to perform poorly in tests that assess aspects of oral language, such as phonological and expressive vocabulary, when compared to appropriate for gestational age children.
