## TL;DR

This study created a checklist of ICF categories relevant to speech and language development based on input from parents and speech therapists.

## Contribution

A novel ICF-based checklist was developed by identifying the most relevant categories for speech and language development in preschoolers.

## Key findings

- 72 ICF categories were identified as most influential for speech and language development.
- Body functions, activities/participation, and environmental factors were all included in the checklist.
- Speech therapists rated body functions as more important, while parents emphasized environmental factors.

## Abstract

Criar um checklist da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF) a partir de categorias relevantes para o desenvolvimento de fala e linguagem, segundo a percepção de pais e fonoaudiólogos.

Realizou-se aplicação piloto e pesquisa. Na pesquisa participaram 100 pais de pré-escolares, com desenvolvimento típico de linguagem/cognição e 57 fonoaudiólogos especialistas em linguagem. Elaborou-se questionário com 199 categorias da CIF dos componentes de funções do corpo, atividades e participação e fatores ambientais. Cada categoria foi pontuada como: indispensável (2); importante (1) ou sem importância (0). Realizou-se a análise estatística (descritiva, soma, cluster/Método K-means e Mann-Whitney).

Com a soma dos pontos (indispensável, importante e sem importância) e a quantidade de respostas indispensável, foram identificadas as categorias de maior relevância para cada grupo de respondentes, assim como o conjunto de categorias em comum (72 consideradas de maior influência). A listagem comum aos grupos contou com os três componentes: funções do corpo (30 categorias/40% do total), atividades e participação (35/49,29%) e fatores ambientais (sete/13,20%). Das categorias selecionadas, 58,33% apresentaram resultados estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos, quanto à relevância dada.

As categorias foram consideradas com pontuações distintas entre os grupos: as de funções do corpo foram mais pontuadas pelos fonoaudiólogos, enquanto as de fatores ambientais pelos pais. Assim, foi possível criar um checklist a partir da identificação das categorias mais relevantes para o desenvolvimento de fala e linguagem, em idade pré-escolar, contemplando os componentes funções do corpo, atividades e participação e fatores ambientais.

Create a checklist of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) based on relevant categories for the development of speech and language, according to the perception of parents and speech therapists.

Pilot application and research were carried out. 100 parents of preschool children with typical language/cognition development and 57 language specialist speech therapists participated in the survey. A questionnaire was created with 199 ICF categories of body function components, activities and participation, and environmental factors. Each category was scored as: indispensable (2); important (1) or unimportant (0). Statistical analysis was performed (descriptive, sum, cluster/K-means and Mann-Whitney method).

With the sum of the points (essential, important and unimportant) and the number of responses essential, the most relevant categories were identified for each group of respondents, as well as the set of categories in common (72 considered to have the greatest influence). The common list to the groups included the three components: body functions (30 categories/40% of the total), activities and participation (35/49.29%) and environmental factors (seven/13.20%). From the selected categories, 58.33% presented statistically significant results between the groups, regarding the relevance given.

The categories were considered with different scores between the groups: those of body functions were more scored by speech therapists, while those of environmental factors by parents. Thus, it was possible to create a checklist from the identification of the most relevant categories for the development of speech and language, in preschool age, contemplating the components of body functions, activities and participation and environmental factors.
