Abstract
Purpose: To identify and describe language assessment protocols from the perspective of ABA used in speech-language therapy.
Research strategies: The question that guided the study was: What are the ABA-based language assessment protocols currently used in speech therapy? For the electronic search of articles, the databases used were Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, Web of Science and Scopus. The search strategy used indexed and free uniterms related to PCC.
Selection criteria: Studies with a cross-sectional design were included, considering individuals undergoing language assessment as the population; ABA-based assessment protocols in speech-language therapy were included. Studies that did not focus on language assessment and with a literature review design, letters to the editor, books, abstracts from proceedings, opinion articles and technical articles were excluded.
Data analysis: The data were analyzed descriptively, analyzing the studies' levels of evidence.
Results: A total of 6,859 articles were identified in all the databases. Of these, 17 articles were selected by title, after reading the abstract. 12 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria: 4 were review articles, 6 did not fit the objective of this research and 2 were repeated between the databases. Five were then selected for full text reading and subsequent data analysis.
Conclusion: Only two language assessment protocols from the perspective of ABA used in speech therapy were found in this review: VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R. Both do not have validation studies for Brazilian Portuguese.
目的:从ABA的角度识别和描述语言评估方案在言语语言治疗中的应用。研究策略:指导研究的问题是:目前在语言治疗中使用的基于aba的语言评估协议是什么?文章电子检索使用的数据库有Medline/PubMed、Lilacs、Web of Science和Scopus。该搜索策略使用与PCC相关的索引和免费条目。选择标准:采用横断面设计的研究,将接受语言评估的个体作为总体考虑在内;包括基于aba的语言治疗评估方案。不关注语言评估和文献综述设计的研究、给编辑的信、书籍、论文摘要、观点文章和技术文章被排除在外。数据分析:对数据进行描述性分析,分析研究的证据水平。结果:在所有数据库中共鉴定出6859篇文献。其中,在阅读摘要后,根据标题选择了17篇文章。12篇因不符合纳入标准而被排除:4篇是综述文章,6篇不符合本研究的目的,2篇在数据库之间重复。然后选择其中5个进行全文阅读和随后的数据分析。结论:本综述仅发现两种基于ABA的语言评估方案:VB-MAPP和abls - r。两者都没有针对巴西葡萄牙语的验证研究。
