Resumo(s)
It is during the childhood period of one’s life trajectory that the exponential increase of vocabulary
acquisition occurs. In Portugal, language disorders are the most frequently seen child development
impairments, affecting 3 to 15 per cent of children under six years. Because delays in the acquisition of
basic vocabulary can compromise inter-peer relational communication, a timely therapeutic
assessment and intervention becomes all the more crucial. A speech therapy ludic-pedagogic
intervention tool—the ABC Traffic Light—was created so as to aid in promoting basic vocabulary
acquisition in children aged between three and six years. It consists in a traffic light with three built-in
pouches, each of which containing cards suggestive of activities of varying difficulty levels. The
empirical range of the proposed tool in the context of speech therapy assessment and intervention
sessions should be highlighted.
