SUMMARY:

Introduction: In view of the growing number of cases referring to schoolchildren with developmental dyslexia or developmental language disorder in neuropsychological evaluations and the need to expand scientific evidence in the Brazilian scenario, we propose a study in which the main context points to the several areas in which the evaluation may be a competent instrument to favor a cognitive profile of these schoolchildren that will facilitate the differential diagnosis. Objective: to verify the cognitive functions in schoolchildren with developmental dyslexia and schoolchildren with developmental language disorder. Method: the study was divided into two articles: article 1- integrative review study and; study 2: case study, transversal, observational and quantitative, composed of elementary school students, aged between 06 and 12 years old. Initially, 16 children were evaluated, 8 with a diagnostic hypothesis of developmental dyslexia and 8 with a hypothesis of developmental language disorder. But, when they were evaluated, only 6 confirmed the diagnoses. Children with diagnoses of other neurodevelopmental disorders, genetic syndromes, hearing impairment, and school difficulties resulting from educational failures were excluded from this study. The abilities evaluated were: Neuropsychological tests and batteries standardized for the Brazilian population, in addition to interview with the family. Expected results: it is expected that the neuropsychological profile of these students will help in the interdisciplinary differential diagnosis between developmental language disorder and developmental dyslexia
