N2 - The purpose of this study is to describe the construction process and the evidence of content validity of SCARA, a prototype of a technological system to support language and communication rehabilitation in people with aphasia, providing a tool that serves both patients and health professionals who accompany the respective recovery process. The process followed four stages: internal phase of the program's organization, with research in the literature and analysis of the materials available in the Portuguese market; construction of the SCARA prototype; evaluation by experts; and data analysis. A Content Validity Index was calculated to determine the level of agreement between the experts. The level of agreement between experts showed the validity of SCARA. SCARA has shown to help the work of the speech-language pathologist and persons with aphasia, contributing to a higher therapeutic quality, enhancing linguistic recovery, and compensating for the impossibility of direct support more frequently and/or prolonged intervention.
