Recent studies in children´s hearing clinics have shown the systematic cooccurrence of language and feeding problems, dealing with speech-language questions related to the oral zone under the concept of orality (GOLSE; GUINOT, 2004). It is assumed that the mouth is the territory of feeding, language and emotions (PALLADINO; CUNHA; SOUZA, 2007). The therapeutic method proposed, the Kitchen Workshop, has been shown to be relevant for children with language problems, because it resembles important symbolic and inaugural scenes (ZAMBOTTI, 2008). The same therapeutic method also appears to be suitable for the speech-language treatment of children with Prader-Willi and Kabuki syndromes, for several reasons, amongst which stand out the appreciation of the biopsychic uniqueness of the cases, by means of the relationship between speaking and eating, as constitutive beams of the psyche. Objective: Describe and analyze the effects of the speech-language work in the Kitchen Workshop on the therapeutic processes of two patients with, respectively, Prader-Willi and Kabuki syndromes. Method: The research is a clinical case study of two children (5years old and 4 years old) with, respectively, Prader-Willi and Kabuki Syndrome, both with a delay in speech and eating problems. The children participated in the therapeutic process for seven months in a Kitchen Workshop, as well as receiving individual speech-language treatment. The clinical material was recorded systematically in writing throughout each one of the sessions. The application of the PROC Behavioral Observation Protocol (ZORZI; HAGE, 2004) was done for the definition of the communicative linguistic profile of each child, before the start of the research and after seven months, when the protocol was reapplied with the purpose of identifying and choosing listing possible differences between the one time and the other. Results: During the therapeutic process it was possible to observe that the two cases modified their myo-functional oral functioning and language. Assuming the inseparability between the organ and the psychic, the two children, that showed definite organic marks, could benefit from the potential of the Kitchen Workshop, by means of which the symbolic dimension acted on the subjective structure and, by means of it, also on the domination of the organic conditions of the studied subjects. There was the symbolic stroke that was expected so that the children could more effectively enter into the language functioning. Conclusion: The Kitchen Workshops, in the position of a therapeutic speechlanguage method, showed the relevance of the biopsychic articulation in the treatment of patients whose organic marks determined limits and specifics to acquisition and circulation in language, as in the cases of Prader-Willi and Kabuki syndromes
