BACKGROUND: a follow-up study of an individual with Specific Language Impairment. AIM: to describe the oral and written language development of an adolescent during 13 years of intervention. METHOD: a male subject, 16 years old, in the second year of high school, who was assessed during the years with different language and auditory procedures. RESULTS: the subject still presents oral and written language deficits, but these do not compromise intelligibility in any level. CONCLUSION: the studied subject presented significant language development during the therapeutic process. However, corroborating with other literature data, deficits still remain.
