PURPOSE: To analyze the Brazilian Speech-Language Pathology scientific production regarding cerebral palsy published between the years of 2002 and 2009 in Speech-Language Pathology journals and in journals from related areas. METHODS: Documental descriptive study guided by the selection and analysis of scientific papers about cerebral palsy, regarding: publication period; frequency distribution per period; methodological procedure used; epistemological filiations; age range of the studied subjects; Speech-Language Pathology area of study. RESULTS: Thirty-six articles were found: 28 in Speech-Language Pathology journals, and eight in journals from related areas of study. The publications were mainly concentrated between 2002 and 2005. Most of them regarded the areas of language and orofacial mycology, and the positivist epistemological filiation. The most frequent methodological procedures were data collection and case study. Childhood was the most studied age. CONCLUSION: The growth of the Brazilian Speech-Language Pathology scientific production regarding cerebral palsy does not follow the growth found in other areas of this science; however, the main epistemological filiation does. Data showed studies about hearing, public health and voice, as well as documental studies and studies regarding adolescents and adults.
