Inventário Portage Operacionalizado como acompanhamento do desenvolvimento infantil: revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Several domains are of critical importance in a child’s development, such as language, motor skills, cognition, socialization, and autonomy. These aspects represent a fundamental foundation for the child’s overall development, especially in the early years of life, enhancing various cognitive and social abilities, as well as the expression of needs Objective: To learn and understand the Operationalized Portage Inventory (OPI) and its contribution to monitoring child development at different stages, aiming to assist in identifying potential delays or difficulties, while considering social, biological, and contextual factors that influence this process. Methodology: This is a narrative literature review with a qualitative approach and no time frame restriction. Results: Among the studies analyzed, five were able to demonstrate that monitoring child development using the Operationalized Portage Inventory can indicate language delays in children aged 0–6 years, resulting in earlier speech-language intervention and improved outcomes. Conclusion: It is primarily the responsibility of professionals working with the OPI to carry out analyses and participate in the diagnostic process of any developmental delays, so that therapeutic rehabilitation can promote the development and habilitation of children.
