Abstract

In the 21st century, transformations to the social system have generated educational alternatives in which the speech language pathologist as a promoter of communicative skills takes an important role. Home education is an option, however, there are controversies about its impact on children's social skills development. This article is a scoping review that explores the relationship between Homeschooling and the social communication development. Studies published between 2000 and 2020, Spanish or English, with summary and full text are included. Those that included participants with cognitive disabilities or learning disorders were excluded. In total of 328 items found, only 9 met the inclusion criteria. The selected documents were analyzed according to the components of social communication: interaction, social and pragmatic cognition in verbal and nonverbal communication of children. There are discrepancies between the results. Some authors claim that social communication skills of children in homeschooling are better than those of children going to school, but in other cases, they meet expected standards for their age. The role of parents or educators was identified as decisive. No studies were found in pragmatic skills. In conclusion, the limitation on the number of articles and heterogeneity in the methodologies presented does not allow the results to be generalized to the population. The need for studies in this area is evident, especially at this time of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
