Abstract

De los diferentes tests y escalas de valoración exponemos más detalladamente el test de screening Haizea-Llevant por ser aplicable a niños de 0 a 5 años y porque permite comprobar el desarrollo en las áreas cognitiva, social y motriz, de forma sencilla y rápida.Palabras clave.

ABSTRACTThe evaluation of psychomotor development is one of the basic activities of everyday paediatric practice, since it helps us not only to determine if the child shows some alteration but also to confirm that the child is healthy. It is thus essential to be able to carry out a suitable evaluation, given that an alteration in this might be the only expression of a disorder of the nervous system. Early detection of any dysfunction contributes to a possible early treatment and to minimising the appearance of sequels.A description is given of the normal development of the child up until 2 years, and an analysis is made of the areas of development, variants of normality and the warning signals classified chronologically.From amongst the different tests and appraisment scales, we give the most detailed exposition of the Hizea-Llevant test, since it is applicable to children between 0 and 5 years old, and because it makes it possible to check development in the cognitive, social and motor areas in a simple and rapid way.

Agreement and Reliability of Parental Reports and Direct Screening of Developmental Outcomes in Toddlers at Risk

“…The HLL ( Fuentes-Biggi et al, 1992 ; Iceta and Yoldi, 2002 ; Rivas et al, 2010 ) was used by the research team for individual assessment of children. The individual developmental performance score is defined as the number of age-appropriate test items of a domain in HLL that a child can successfully pass or not.…”

“…One hundred and fifty-seven families (N = 157) initially responded to a call to participate in a study of tools for a future cognitive intervention and completed documentation for informed consent (Figure 1). All children were screened using the HLL screening table (Iceta and Yoldi, 2002). Due to reported application practices for early DS (Alcantud et al, 2015), HLL was applied twice.…”

“…The HLL (Fuentes-Biggi et al, 1992;Iceta and Yoldi, 2002;Rivas et al, 2010) pass or not. For nominal classification, a "Caution" is recorded when an age-appropriate item is not passed.…”

“…The main content of CARE includes activities to report developmental milestones in four domains mentioned before, for two age groups: 24–35 months old and 36–59 months old. Every item in CARE is closely related to one item in the Haizea-Llevant (HLL) Table ( Iceta and Yoldi, 2002 ). The HLL screening table is a DS tool derived from the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) and the Denver Pre-screening Developmental Questionnaire ( Frankenburg et al, 1976 ; Frankenburg, 1987 ).…”

Use of Paliperidone Palmitate Throughout a Schizoaffective Disorder Patient’s Gestation Period

“…The clinical status of the newborn was normal, with no prolonged hospitalization or special care of any kind needed beyond that normally required. In the first year of follow-up of the child, no diseases or malformations had been detected, and, to date of this study, psychomotor development was appropriate for his age, using the Haizea-Llevant Scale of Infant Development [6,7]. The child's weight at 12 months was 11.5 kg and height 77 cm, which corresponds to a 65th percentile.…”
