Summary

This chapter presents two research reports developed in Brazil. The first was conducted in 2014 with 854 children and adolescents with autism. This research identified that just 64 percent of the children received some kind of speech-language intervention. The second example focused on the investigation and intervention of language development and behavioral problems among four-year-old preschoolers to prevent future social and academic problems. The aim of the study was to provide early assessment and intervention in language and behavioral problems among children in regular schools. The chapter talks about how the gap between society and science may be bridged by efficient and collaborative work between universities and public services that support research useful in solving immediate problems and responding meaningfully to various situations, serving as an important tool to build capacity for social justice.
