[en] . Introduction: The scarcity of instruments for the assessment of pragmatic skills in early care, contextualized in our environment, together with the difficulty of pragmatic assessment itself, hinders the detection and classification of disorders that occur with such alterations. Therefore, a study is carried out based on pragmatic development profiles prior to the age of 4 years. Objectives: 1.- To adapt The Pragmatics Profile of Dewart and Summers (1975) to Spanish, providing it with a quantitative response scale. 2.- To elaborate an instrument of direct execution for the Evaluation of Pragmatic Development (EDPRA) that covers the period between 6 and 48 months. Material and Method: For this purpose, a sample of children (N= 298) aged between 6 and 48 months was selected. From the total group, four subgroups were formed according to their chronological age, both for the process of adaptation to Spanish of the TPP (n=190) and for the elaboration of the EDPRA (n=298). All participants received the EDPRA, but only a portion of the families correctly completed the TPP. Results: The results of the analyses (Discriminant and Exploratory Factor Analysis fundamentally) of both tests showed good reliability and adequate psychometric properties, although the latent structure of the TPP does not correspond to the axes described in its theoretical model. Conclusions: Having analyzed the properties of both tests, it seems that both can complement each other adequately. The TPP is a reliable instrument to obtain a measure of pragmatic development perceived by parents, whose biases can be corrected through a direct measure such as that provided by the EDPRA. The EDPRA can be considered a screening instrument to detect early delays or deviations in pragmatic development, which can facilitate the adoption of therapeutic measures in early development.

[gl] Introdución: A escaseza de instrumentos de avaliación das habilidades pragmáticas en atención temperá, contextualizadas na nosa contorna, xunto coa dificultade propia que ocasiona a avaliación pragmática en si, dificulta a detección e clasificación dos trastornos que cursan coas ditas alteracións. Por iso, lévase a cabo un estudo a partir dos perfís de desenvolvemento pragmático anterior aos 4 anos. Obxectivos: 1-Adaptar ao español o The Pragmatics Profile de Dewart e Summers (1975) dotándoo dunha escala de resposta cuantitativa. 2-Elaborar un instrumento de execución directa para a Avaliación do Desenvolvemento Pragmático ( EDPRA) que abarque o período comprendido entre os 6 e 48 meses. Para iso seleccionouse unha mostra denenos e nenas (N=298) con idades comprendidas entre os 6 e os 48 meses. Materiais e método: A partir do grupo total constituíronse catro subgrupos segundo a idade cronolóxica, tanto para o proceso de adaptación ao español do TPP(n=190), como para a elaboración da EDPRA(n=298). Todos os participantes recibiron a EDPRA perosó unha parte das familias cubriu correctamente o TPP. Resultados: Os resultados das análises (Discriminante e Análise Factorial Exploratorio fundamentalmente) de ambas as probas mostraron unha boa fiabilidade e propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, se ben a estrutura latente do TPP non se corresponde cos eixos descritos no seu modelo teórico. Conclusións: Unha vez analizadas as propiedades de ambas as probas, parece que ambas as dúas se poden complementar de maneira adecuada. O TPP é un instrumento fiable para obter unha medida do desenvolvemento pragmático percibido polos pais, cuxos nesgos poden ser corrixidos a través dunha medida directa como é a proporcionada pola EDPRA. Este pódese considerar un instrumento de cribado que permite detectar atrasos ou desviacións temperás no desenvolvemento pragmático, o que pode facilitar a adopción de medidas terapéuticas no desenvolvemento inicial
