Abstract

Purpose: to identify the most frequently published therapeutic approaches for phonological disorder in monolingual Brazilian Portuguese-speaking children in the past 10 years (2014-2024) in the leading Brazilian speech-language pathology journals.

Methods: a search conducted for scientific articles in English and/or Portuguese, published between 2014 and 2024, in the four main Brazilian speech-language pathology journals: CoDAS, CEFAC, ACR, and Distúrbios da Comunicação. The search terms used were: desvio fonológico/phonological disorder/distúrbio fonológico AND therapy OR intervention.

Literature Review: twenty articles were selected from a total of 78. Of these, 50% were published in CEFAC; 80% were published more than six years ago, and 75% originated from research conducted at the Federal University of Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. On average, the studies included six participants, with a mean age of 5 years and 7 months.

Conclusion: the most frequently published therapeutic approaches in the journals reviewed were: minimal pairs, ABAB-withdrawal and multiple probes, phonological awareness, and modified cycles. All phonological therapeutic approaches reported were effective in remediating phonological disorder, according to the authors of the respective studies.

Resumo

Objetivo: verificar quais são as abordagens terapêuticas para o transtorno fonológico mais publicadas nas principais revistas de Fonoaudiologia brasileiras em crianças falantes monolíngues do português brasileiro nos últimos 10 anos (2014-2024).

Métodos: pesquisa de artigos científicos em língua inglesa e/ou portuguesa, publicados entre os anos de 2014 a 2024, nas quatro principais revistas de Fonoaudiologia brasileira: CoDAS, CEFAC, ACR e Distúrbios da Comunicação.

Revisão da Literatura: foram selecionados 20 artigos dos 78 rastreados. Destes, 50% foram publicados na Rev. CEFAC; 80% publicados há mais de seis anos, 75% são artigos de pesquisas realizadas na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. As pesquisas tiveram em média seis participantes, com idade média de 5:7.

Conclusão: as abordagens terapêuticas mais publicadas nas revistas pesquisadas foram: pares mínimos, ABAB-Retirada e provas múltiplas, consciência fonológica e ciclos modificado.
