PURPOSE: to compare the narrative performance subject groups with delay and disturbance and controls in typical acquisition. METHODS: 63 subjects were analyzed, 32 (50.79%) with delay, 12 (19.04%) with disturbance and 19 (30.10%) in typical acquisition, and appraised and classified phonologically, in narrative production through the instrument of Zilles and the invented narrative, both analyzed through narrative typology. Questionnaires about the narrative interactions were applied to the parents and teachers. RESULTS: significant statistical differences were noted between the group with disturbances and the control group, the worst and best performance, respectively. The group in typical acquisition demonstrated the best performance in free narrative. CONCLUSION: the phonological typology was partially related with the narrative performance.
