The objective of the present study is to characterize and compare the phonological performance, in subjects with Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy and its correlation with learning and writing abilities. Sixteen children, between 7 and 13 years old, with Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy, all of them going to elementary public schools, participated in this study. The individuals were divided into two groups: GSd (group of individuals with right hemiparetic cerebral palsy) and GSe (group of individuals with left hemiparetic cerebral palsy). All the subjects showed learning disabilities because of their language developmental retard and its relation with phonological, writing and reading disorders, besides disorders in the phonological codification, that causes disturbs in the use and representation of phonetics in the working memory. We concluded that the GSe group showed better results than the GSd group concerning to the emission and reception of written language.
