Os ecos da fala na clínica fonoaudiológica

Abstract

The autism intrigue those who get involved with its questions, because of atypical meaning of the pathology which, according Kanner, deny the subject from any way to speech, isolating himself. The euphoria that a 6 years old male autistic child presents, assisted at the Associação dos Deficientes de Peixinhos (ADEPE) by its Speech Therapy Department, before the attempt to set up contact and mean his echolalia, came us a question: is it possible while aim of this study, show the echolalia how rudiments of language aided at Speech Therapy Clinic? Specifically, through meaning of the speech, can we describe the echolalia as an object a lasso used by the autistic person to capture another s care and establish the dialog, constituting the language? This being the case, this research is a study of case, based on Speech Therapy treatment of foresaid child, along about a year. We found support on conceptions of Structuralism about speech acquirement by Claudia de Lemos (PUC-SP) and on perspectives of Lacan s Psychoanalysis, which detach the language and present it as a subject s fundante. Facing the research s discoveries we confirm the lapse on speech of autistic child, distinguished by changes on speech s axis: metaphorical and metonymical, that makes us reflect about a possible inner reorganization of echolalia, unmaking it character rigid and out of context
