“…The data were analyzed in accordance with the procedures described in the literature [17][18][19]21 . The score of each item was registered and the number of answers for each criterion was calculated, allowing for the calculation of the percent of agreement related to the positive or negative features of each item.…”

“…The RD and their consequences are still little discussed in our professional environment; however their early detection is necessary due to the insidious characteristic of the problems that may arise 5 . To accomplish that effectively, practical instruments with an easy application are necessary 21,22 . The SICOBE is being created in order to fulfill this gap and it is expected that the involvement of professionals that are active in the field of child development has made the questionnaire more clinically useful.…”

Introduction: Regulatory disorders (RDs) are manifested by sensorimotor, sleep, feeding and adaptation abnormalities in the first three years of life, which seem to indicate future child development problems. There is evidence that RDs are related to attention, learning and behavioral problems that are observed at school age. Therefore, it is important to invest in resources that enable their early detection. The objective of this study was to describe the process of creating a questionnaire to detect atypical behavior suggestive of RDs, among 6 to 12-month-old infants. Method: The instrument was developed in two stages: (a) planning and constructing the test and (b) content validity examination through an expert panel consisting of researchers and professionals with recognized experience in the field. Results: The data indicated that the topic is relevant and that, according to the scores from the panel, the items in the questionnaire are easily observed (96.8%), clearly written (94.5%), assess important aspects of behavior (89.6%) and can potentially detect atypical behavior in 6 to 12-month-old infants (85.4%). Conclusion: Based on this study, the items were reviewed, resulting in a questionnaire with 50 items that will be applied experimentally in future work. It is expected that the questionnaire will be useful for early detection of problems that affect a great number of children.

Objective: To review the literature regarding screening psychomotor tests for the early identification of developmental problems. Sources:A search on SciELO, PubMed and Google Scholar was performed using the terms "prematurity," "developmental delay," "cerebral palsy," "early diagnosis" and "evaluation tests." Summary of the findings:A total of 455 references were listed, and 174 studies were selected for this review based on title, relevance, and abstract. Only original and electronically available material, from 1985 forward, with information on design, applicability, and psychometric properties of those tests was included. Conclusions:Screening tests are important to speed the beginning of treatment measures in order to allow for better developmental outcome. Among the many tests that can be employed for this purpose, the DENVER II and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale are the most often used in Brazilian studies. The Movement Assessment of Infants is starting to be used in our country. Two other tests are recommended in the literature due to their high sensibility and specificity:the Test of Infant Motor Performance and the General Movements.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2008;84(4):289-299: Prematurity, motor delay, early diagnostic, screening tests.
