Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the national scientific production of Speech-Language Therapy in the interface with Occupational Therapy (OT) based on an integrative literature review. Methods: a selection of articles published in Brazilian journals in the field of Occupational Therapy: Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional of UFSCar, Revista de Terapia Ocupacional of USP, Revista Baiana da Terapia Ocupacional and Revista Interinstitucional Brasileira de Terapia Ocupacional with the descriptors “speech therapy, speech therapist and speech-language therapy”. The sample, consisting of 10 articles, was analyzed with quantitative and qualitative procedures. Results: the search showed publications from 2000 to 2017, with the largest number of articles in 2015. The main findings point to the language area as the most prevalent, revealing a connection between speech therapy and OT. Assistive Technology, particularly adopted with children, is a common field among the professional areas studied, with the highest incidence in the articles. Conclusion: the analysis of the scientific production showed that the partnership between Speech-Language Therapy and OT appeared under different objectives and the public, as early intervention, actions in multiple disabilities, with the disabled child and their family, with autists in hippotherapy, in school inclusion and in assistive technology, the latter more frequently. These findings allowed reflections on the interdisciplinarity of both professions and fields of knowledge.
Highlights
This study seeks to reflect on the theme of interdisciplinarity of two professions and fields of knowledge: occupational therapy and speech therapy, from a literature analysis.“Starting from the creation of a broader paradigm that overcomes the domination of the bio-medical model and the reductionist conceptions of the social sciences, the scientific scope of health has in its favor the direct and strategic connection with the lived world, the world of suffering, of pain and death that faces everyday

Summary
“Starting from the creation of a broader paradigm that overcomes the domination of the bio-medical model and the reductionist conceptions of the social sciences, the scientific scope of health has in its favor the direct and strategic connection with the lived world, the world of suffering, of pain and death that faces everyday. This daily appeal of service and social policy puts the health area into the unquestionable arena of life. Health is constituted in each person’s way of living, with difference that depend on social, cultural, family, beliefs and political experiences, taking into account the social, biological and ethical-political dimensions of life[2].
