OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of oral language, orofacial motor skill and @entity1650 in @entity1 aged 4-10 years old and verify their association with age and gender. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with stratified, random sample consisting of 539 students. The evaluation consisted of three protocols: orofacial motor skill protocol, adapted from the Myofunctional Evaluation Guidelines; the @entity1 Language Test ABFW - Phonology, and a simplified auditory processing evaluation. Descriptive and associative statistical analyses were performed using Epi Info software, release 6.04. Chi-square test was applied to compare proportion of events and analysis of variance was used to compare mean values.  Significance was set at p  <= 0.05. RESULTS: Of the studied subjects, 50.1% had at least one of the assessed disorders; of those, 33.6% had @entity3180 , 17.1%, had orofacial motor skill impairment, and 27.3% had @entity1650 . There were significant associations between auditory processing skills' @entity73 and age, suggesting a @entity2167 with increasing age. Similarly, the variable "one or more speech, language and @entity2167 " was also associated with age. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of speech, language and @entity2167 in @entity1 was high, indicating the need for research and public health efforts to cope with this problem.
