“…The follow-up study of BEIP participants at 8 years indicated that children assigned to foster care were able to utter longer and more complex sentences, displayed better written word identification and non-word repetition skills than children who remained in institutions, but had lower grammatical abilities than their never institutionalized age peers.

Although in one study of children adopted from Eastern Europe to the USA, age at adoption was unrelated to language outcomes beyond the age of three 21 , a five-year longitudinal study investigating the effects of different types of placement on children’s language outcomes suggested that, regardless of placement type, children exposed to early adversity remained below the population mean with respect to their language functioning 22 .…”

“…A escala inclui questões sobre competência social (habilidades de afirmação, comunicação interpessoal e cooperação entre pares), competência escolar (motivos, habilidades de planejamento e organização e eficácia escolar e ajuste escolar), competência emocional (autogestão, gerenciamento de emoção, gerenciamento de estresse e empatia) e problemas de comportamento (interpessoal ajuste, ajuste intrapessoal e hiperatividade). Os dados foram pontuados em uma escala Likert de 5 pontos (Ralli et al, 2017) Segundo os resultados gerais, as crianças institucionalizadas apresentaram desempenho mais baixo em todos os itens. Nas tarefas de vocabulário, apresentaram menor vocabulário expressivo e receptivo e, na tarefa narrativa, produziram menor número de palavras e enunciados e apresentaram um menor fluxo verbal narrativo.…”
