RESUMO

Objetive: To characterize and analyze the psychosocial and familiar aspects of individuals with and without communication disorders related to cleft lip and palate. Design: Descriptive and comparative study of two groups: GI – group of individuals with communication disorders related to velopharyngeal dysfunction, dento-occlusal alterations and/or delays in speech development, and GII - group of individuals without communication disorders. Research Site: Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo, Bauru, Brazil. Participants: 38 individuals distributed into two groups (GI: N=20 and GII: N=18); all participants were at least four years of age and were enrolled in the “Florida Project”, presenting with unilateral transforame cleft not associated to other malformations or anomalies. Methods: Interview and data analysis focusing on socioeconomic status, family dynamics and history, individuals and family social relationship, care and management of anomaly and support community resources. Results/Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the socioeconomic status between children with and without communication disorders. There were no significant differences in the psychosocial and familiar aspects between children with and without communication disorders except regarding school routine which was distinct for a minority in the group with communication disorders. Even though some of the aspects studied did not show significant, the findings provided qualitative information regarding the psychosocial and familiar aspects supporting team management in a search for patient’s inclusion in a partnership with the parents and the community.
