SUMMARY:

Pragmatics relates to the functional use of language in social contexts. The social distancing measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly impacted the interaction and socialization of a significant portion of the population. This impact may affect the development of the communicative skills of children born during this period, since their opportunities for social interaction and communication partners were reduced. In addition, complaints of language-related developmental delays and the demand for speech-language therapy by parents of toddlers seem to have increased after this period, showing that parents are more concerned about their children's language development. The aim of this study is to characterize the pragmatic profile of children born during social distancing and who have complaints related to language development. The study is cross-sectional and was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Data collection is being carried out at the UFRN Speech, Language and Hearing Clinic and involves the application of a parental questionnaire to characterize socioeconomic status and protective and risk factors for child development and an assessment battery consisting of the language subscale of the Bayley III Scales, the Pragmatics test of the ABFW child language test and the POSI section of the Survey of Wellbeing of Young Children (SWYC) protocol. The subjects were recruited from the waiting list of the speech, language and hearing clinic at UFRN and invited to take part in a survey. The inclusion criteria were that the parents had complaints about their children's language development, were born between January and July 2021 and were native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese; the exclusion criteria were a previous diagnosis of hearing loss, low vision, blindness or syndromes. So far, 29 children of both sexes have been assessed, with an average age of 39 months. This research will continue with statistical analysis to identify correlations between variables of language performance, pragmatic profile and social interaction. It is hoped that the results will contribute to understanding the impact of social distancing on language use.
