Conflict of interest: non-existentMathematical, Spatial, Bodily Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and Naturalistic.Although there is inherent specificity in each of the eight intelligences, they are inter-related and, so, they may interfere in each others' development. This claim is based on the fact that the complexity of activities performed by human beings, mostly, demands the mobilization and use of skills which are inherent to more than one intelligence.The linguistic intelligence, synonym of verbal language in this case, is impaired in some patients. In these subjects, it was investigated the development therapy from their patient records, being expressed as language delay or disorder 3-5 . This intelligence is considered as an intellectual competence which is materialized in comprehension, oral and/or reading and writing production 1,2,6, .Through the Multiple Intelligences, areas of interest and individual potentials are more easily visualized. This identification may help language, speech and hearing therapists and other professionals who use the referred theory to support their practice, qualifying their service to people they care.
ABSTRACTPurpose: to investigate the linguistic evolutions of patients with language disorders, with a focus on the area (s) (s) of interest accessed (s) in speech therapy, ranging from the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Methods: this research appears as quantitative and qualitative. The 562 therapeutic developments of 41 records of patients treated at the Department of Language, Speech and Hearing a service linked to a federal university of Brazil were investigated, two types of data analysis were conducted: content analysis through the organization of categories of analysis to data interpretation and, statistical analysis, with application of Chi-square test. Result: both the statistical analysis of the data, as the content analysis, it became evident that the more therapeutic strategies beheld (s) area (s) of interest of the patient in therapy, it was his best performance in verbal language/intelligence linguistic focus of language intervention. Conclusion: when accessing other area (s) of interest related to multiple intelligences, can promote further development of verbal language/linguistic intelligence of patients with a deficit or alteration in it.
