[Intervention in children with pragmatic language and communication disorders].

AIMS: In this paper we analyse the educational and therapeutic needs of children who present pragmatic disorders in language and communication.

DEVELOPMENT: Pragmatic disorders in language and communication stand apart from the other disorders affecting the remaining aspects of language development. Their less specific nature goes beyond the purely linguistic domain and involves wide areas of the patient's affective and social development.

CONCLUSIONS

Not only is it necessary to adapt the general model of speech therapy intervention, but also to include it within a set of pedagogical (based on the framework of school itself) and psychological measures (in early care and family guidance services).
